Fairly easy to read. Produced by David Widger "A Philanthropist" by Josephine Daskam Bacon is a novella written during the early 20th century. This work delves into themes surrounding social responsibility and personal motivations in philanthropy, portrayed through the interactions between the main characters, Miss Gould and Mr. Welles. The story illustrates the complexities of charitable efforts and the diverse perspectives surrounding them. The plot revolves around Miss Gould, a diligent philanthropist driven by a strong sense of duty to help others, and Mr. Welles, a charming yet indolent lodger who is more focused on leisure than social reform. Their relationship takes center stage as Miss Gould attempts to influence Mr. Welles' careless attitude towards life. Despite her noble intentions, she finds herself in a comedic struggle to reform him while managing the actions of a local reformed drunkard, Tom Waters, and a group of other villagers who challenge her principles. Throughout the narrative, the dynamic between Miss Gould's earnestness and Mr. Welles' nonchalance creates moments of tension and humor, culminating in Mr. Welles' unexpected proposal that complicates their philanthropic pursuits and personal lives.
