An architect preaches virtue while working his way into a rich old man's will, and the old man's disinherited grandson sails to America and nearly dies on swampland sold as paradise. The hypocrite is unmasked, the murderer destroyed.

Some people likened him to a direction-post, which is always telling the way to a place, and never goes there.
Martin Chuzzlewit, Charles Dickens
