Freedom Barry imagines an unemployed stranger gainfully employed

Neville tells of his friend Freedom Barry, whom he sent to San Francisco to teach the law: a man out of work asked him for money while he was walking his dog, and Freedom, having none to give, stood on the sidewalk and saw the man gainfully employed — a month later the man crossed the street to thank him for not giving him money, saying he had been so angry with himself that he went home determined to get a job and had one the very next day.
