The story tells of a young man's first steps in life. He leaves his country house and goes into the City to work in his Uncle's office. There he meets with intemperate companions, and one of them partially succeeds in enticing him to become a regular patron of the public-house. But, before he has gone far on the downward path, he receives a letter from his mother, warning him of the dangers of drink, and praying him to abstain; by this means he is led to see the evils of that kind of life, and becomes a staunch Temperance advocate. The story well depicts the temptations that are in a young man's start in life when he gets into doubtful company, and shows the necessity of careful choice in making friends.
