When William Froyle, ostler at the Queen’s Arms at Moorthorne, learns that his betrothed has betrayed him, he determines to hang himself in the inn’s coach house. His first, unsuccessful attempt, is witnessed by Daft Jimmy, the village idiot. Daft Jimmy offers to help with the process of fixing the noose and takes a great deal of interest and delight in the proceedings. As events unfold, it becomes less clear who is the fool and who is the wise man.
