My Uncle Silas

On the morning of his son's wedding, Silas finds himself in charge of his 10-year-old nephew Edward.

Silas and Edward take a job painting rooms for a frugal and temperate innkeeper. Silas tries to show the landlord's wife that there's more to life than work.

Caught poaching, Silas strikes a deal with the landowner not to prosecute in exchange for his charming company.

Silas pays a visit to the widow Gadsby, who tempts him with more than the fruit she grows in her garden.

Silas tells Edward how he met one of the most important people in his life.
