Summary
It is the long-awaited annual Christmas prize draw for the Shelf Union Social Club.

A witty, humorous moral entanglement begins when Mr. Pessel draws a ticket belonging to Mr. Brooker, one of the richest men in the area and not a ticket belonging to someone more worthy of winning the first-prize hamper.
