"The Second String" by Nat Gould is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This tale follows Jack Redland, often labeled as "the failure" by his family and friends, who is yet an amiable and optimistic young man. As he struggles to carve out a successful life in England despite his various attempts, he becomes intrigued by the possibility of fortune abroad, propelled by a chance encounter with a gypsy woman who predicts great success in a far-off land. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Jack Redland, a man who enjoys the simple pleasures of life, is well-liked by those around him, yet is considered a failure by his family due to his inability to find a stable vocation. After a candid conversation with Sir Lester Dyke and his daughter Winifred, Jack reflects on his lack of direction and ultimately decides he must leave England for new opportunities. This resolve is further solidified by a prophetic encounter with a gypsy woman who foretells riches for him in a distant land. The stage is set for Jack’s journey towards self-discovery and adventure, as he prepares to embark on a journey to Fremantle with plans to find fortune, while grappling with his feelings for Winifred.
