A Raw Youth Part 2 Chapter 6

In which the narrator wrestles with a perilous temptation to confront a woman whose fidelity he questions, yet chooses restraint in a rare moment of honourable impulse, and later finds himself drawn into the sordid, turbulent world of gambling where his fortunes rise and fall amidst uneasy company. Amidst the ebb and flow of luck and disdain, a crushing revelation shatters his composure, rekindling his youthful vulnerability and stirring profound sorrow for a certain Liza.
