Mr. Satterthwaite has left the French Mediterranean coast for one of the Spanish islands and, soon after arrival, he's out exploring the surroundings near his hotel. He encounters Anthony Cosden just as Cosden is about to leap to his death from a high cliff into the sea. Apparently this was not his first attempt; only yesterday he had been stopped by a man who, by his description, seems to have been Harley Quin! Could it be?
Can Satterthwaite and Quin bring happiness back to a poor man’s life?
The short story was previously published in the print anthology 'The Mysterious Mr. Quin'. It first came out in 1929 in "Britannia and Eve" magazine.
