| Summary | "The Running Fight" by William Hamilton Osborne is a novel written in the early 20th century. It delves into the complexities of human emotions and social intrigue during a time characterized by economic turmoil. The story centers around Giles Ilingsworth, who, after losing his fortune in a financial collapse, confronts Leslie Wilkinson, the daughter of the powerful financier Peter V. Wilkinson, as he seeks retribution and justice in a world turned upside down. The opening of this tale introduces us to Ilingsworth as he prepares to confront Leslie at her family's luxurious home, driven by desperation and a sense of betrayal following the collapse of the Tri-State Trust Company. His intention is violent; he bears a weapon and is determined to confront the source of his financial ruin. The narrative captures his conflicting emotions as he unexpectedly meets Leslie, who reveals herself not as the conspirator he expected, but as her father's innocent daughter. The tension escalates as Ilingsworth grapples with his vengeful motives while Leslie's charm and vulnerability awaken his conscience, leading to a complicated entanglement of secrets and expectations that define their evolving relationship.
