Summary: "Dick Darling's Money; or, The Rise of an Office Boy" by a Self-Made Man is a collection of adventure stories written in the early 20th century. The main character, Dick Darling, is a fifteen-year-old office boy employed by a jeweler in New York City. The stories likely explore his various escapades as he navigates challenges and claims his place in the world, highlighting themes of resilience and cleverness in the face of adversity. The opening of the story introduces Dick as he is summoned by his boss, Mr. Roger Bacon, with an urgent errand to deliver a valuable package to a client in Springville. The narrative quickly establishes Dick's resourcefulness as he completes his task but then finds himself in a perilous situation when he encounters two burglars after a wrong turn. Through a blend of courage and wit, Dick manages to escape from his captors and, in a twist of fate, ends up helping to capture them and assist a family whose home was robbed. This sets the tone for his further adventures and lay the groundwork for character development, showcasing his brave spirit and sharp intellect. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
