George Gissing's poignant story of the mysterious Mr. Tymperley who is known to have lived an affluent country life, but is now mysteriously inhabiting a shabby bedsit in a poor street in Islington, London. At a society dinner party, he is rumoured to be undertaking social work and living among the working classes out of charitable concern...but as the story unfolds it seems there is more to the mystery than meets the eye.
