I would prefer not to. In the story, a lawyer hired a clerk but he preferred not to do any work. Now the interesting part is how the lawyer would handle him. That's a magnificent story about sympathy and depression. The beauty of the book is the way it develops. From a rather jovial, common description of office life, the story suddenly takes a twist to a sad story. Brilliant concepts and insights still fitting for today. Sometimes a character out of a book will stick with you. And this book has the full capability to create that influence

Ah, humanity!

Ah, happiness courts the light so we deem the world is gay. But misery hides aloof so we deem that misery there is none.
Ah, humanity!
