Pycroft is a stockbroker's clerk who had then been taken on by the firm of Mawson and Williams in the City of London. Tthe firm took him on without a face-to-face interview, with arrangements made via the postal system. The job is a good one, and the wages offered more than reasonable. He also receives another job offer, when Arthur Pinnar, of the Franco-Midland Hardware Company visits him in person. The Franco-Midland Hardware Company has nothing to do with stockbroking, and deals with hardware stores on the continent, but the terms of employment are better than those offered by Mawson and Williams.

Pycroft then discovers that Arthur Pinnar and Harry Pinnar are the same person... First published in the Strand Magazine, Mar. 1893, with 7 illustrations by Sidney Paget.

-Chapter One Paragraph One- A small figure ran through the night. Tears streaming down the small, sweet little girls face. Her mother, dead. Her step father, abusive. She had lived in the orphanage for only a few weeks and she hated it. All of the children were mean. They made fun of her, because she was clever. That's the way Lara said it. The kids called her, a nerd, outcast, loser, and the most hurtful of all, freak. All she wanted was to have a real family, to live like a normal little girl. But everyone but her knew she could never have that. The scars on her back and arms were a constant reminder that it wasn't just her body that was scarred. She was only three, everyone treated her like some fragile little thing but she was tough and quite smart, considering her age. No one believed in the small girl, the one with curly black hair, piercing blue eyes, and tiny frame. Lara. No middle or last name, just Lara.
