The second story in the collection, "The Ballad of Timothy Touchett," concerns the misadventures of a young writer, the titular Timothy Touchett, who has such difficult actually writing anything that he instead begins to spend his time copying the signatures of his favorite authors. Eventually, Timothy is spotted doing this by a man named Mr. Pennybrook, who offers Timothy a job at his bookstore under the auspices that it is a legitimate position before gradually nudging Timothy into performing high-value forgeries of author's signatures in rare books. The pair keep up this lucrative industry for quite some time before they are eventually caught by the police and summarily punished.
