Mr. Incoul's misadventure

After his wife's sudden death, wealthy Mr. Incoul proposes to Miss Maida Barhyte to marry him with the promise of providing for her every need. Reluctantly, Maida agrees under the condition that they live as siblings until they both achieve independence. They marry on these terms and embark on a European honeymoon. However, complications arise when Maida encounters a former lover during a bullfight in Spain, unbeknownst to Mr. Incoul. Edgar Saltus employs his trademark pessimism in "Mr. Incoul’s Misadventure," weaving a tale of unconventional relationships influenced by his philosophical works.
