The 1,000,000 Bank-Note and Other Stories
"I had nothing in the world but a million pounds."
In Victorian London, two very rich, eccentric brothers present the penniless Henry Adams one million pounds of money in the form of a single bank note. Their thinking is Henry would not be able to exchange that note in the bank without being questioned about how he had come by it, charged with theft and arrested. He would also not be able to spend it since no ordinary person would be able to provide change for it.
Is the £1,000,000 note totally useless to our protagonist, or does the mere possession of it enable him to have anything he wants?
Find the answer in this collection of classic short stories by Mark Twain.
