| Summary |
"Frank Merriwell's Trust; Or, Never Say Die" by Burt L. Standish is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Frank Merriwell, who is portrayed as a moral and athletic young man, navigating through challenges that test his loyalty and ideals, particularly in the context of friendship and personal responsibility. The narrative introduces various characters, including Jack Diamond, a friend who faces troubles stemming from poor choices, setting the stage for themes of redemption and the consequences of one’s actions. At the start of the book, Frank Merriwell unexpectedly encounters his friend Jack Diamond in a compromised state, accompanied by dubious characters who encourage drinking and gambling. Frank's growing concern for Jack's well-being leads him to intervene, attempting to steer Jack away from reckless behavior. As they venture into the nightlife of New York City, Frank discovers Jack's deep troubles, including involvement with gambling and a dangerous friendship that threatens to ruin him. The opening effectively establishes a tense atmosphere filled with moral dilemmas, hinting at the broader conflict that will unfold as Frank seeks to save his friend from destructive influences and navigate the complexities of trust and integrity.
