Five Tales

Five long stories. In "The First and Last", a successful barrister discovers that his younger brother has killed a man, and that an innocent tramp is going to hang for it. "A Stoic" gives an old Liverpool shipowner, eighty and disreputable, one last day to settle his affairs and his conscience. "The Apple Tree" sends a young Oxford man walking in Devon, where he falls in love with a farm girl, goes to town to arrange things, and does not come back. "The Juryman" puts a comfortable man on a jury trying a soldier for attempted suicide. And "Indian Summer of a Forsyte" is the interlude in which old Jolyon Forsyte, alone at Robin Hill, spends a last summer in the company of Irene.

John Galsworthy published the collection in 1918. "Indian Summer of a Forsyte" belongs to the Forsyte sequence and is printed in later editions of it as an interlude between The Man of Property and In Chancery.

This Bibliomancer edition presents all five tales complete.
