"Fortune" by J. C. Snaith is an early 20th-century story about a young man's daring pursuit of wealth, forsaking familiarity for the unknown. Leaving his home with youthful optimism, he faces difficult trials in a far-off land, testing his values against the hard facts of life. His journey begins full of hope, but he soon confronts unforgiving weather and landscapes that threaten his resolve, and an act of charity puts strain on his limited finances. Ultimately, he arrives at a run-down inn where he meets the puzzling Sir Richard Pendragon, an Englishman whose loud personality and challenging behavior leads to intellectual sparring and swordplay, paving the way for more complex adventures.
