| Summary | "Dick Hamilton's Fortune; Or, The Stirring Doings of a Millionaire's Son" by Howard R. Garis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the main character, Dick Hamilton, a wealthy teenager navigating the challenges posed by his mother's unique will, which requires him to make wise investments with his fortune or risk losing access to it. The opening portion introduces Dick as he hurries home to meet his father for an important discussion regarding the will. We see glimpses of his character as he interacts with friends, refusing to gamble and showing kindness to a less fortunate acquaintance, Henry Darby. The chapter sets up the premise of Dick's journey as he grapples with the legacy left to him, his desire for freedom, and the impending challenges he might face while trying to prove himself capable of handling wealth responsibly. It hints at conflicts that can arise from both his elevated status and the conditions placed upon him by his mother’s will. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
