Stoik

Stoik

John Galsworthy

A short story by the British writer and winner of the 1932 Nobel Prize for Literature about Sylvanus Heythrop, a principled eighty-year-old president of a shipping company on the verge of bankruptcy.

Wanting to provide for his two beloved grandchildren, Sylvanus makes a deal that earns him an illegal commission. The truth eventually comes out and he finds himself exposed to embarrassment and blackmail. His job isn't in jeopardy, but his reputation is. But Sylvanus has a solution for that too. He spends the evening with a real little feast, champagne, and his favorite port, and goes to sleep from which he never wakes up.
