Set in San Francisco in 1852, the story introduces John Sherwood, a middle-aged man with a solid demeanor and a penchant for humor, enjoying his morning at the Bella Union Hotel. Dressed in the fashion of the time, he reads an unusual newspaper filled mostly with advertisements, reflecting the bustling commerce of the era. Sherwood is portrayed as a powerful public gambler, hinting at themes of risk, society, and the economic landscape of the Gold Rush period, as he navigates the interplay between chance and fortune.
