Professor Linyard means a satire when he reconciles science and faith on the page; the public takes him seriously and the pamphlet sells. Caught between the hoax's success and his own integrity, he learns how reputation can outrun the joke. Wharton's title tale opens a collection of stories where irony, social climbing, and private cost share the same sharp light.
