He has a crisis of faith when a snake-oil salesman named Dr. Paracelsus arrives in town with a young gypsy named Pepeeta. Thinking Pepeeta is Paracelsus' daughter, he becomes enamored of her and joins Paracelsus and Pepeeta as they travel about the countryside. He eventually discovers Pepeeta is Paracelsus' wife. David descends into drunkenness and gambling, and has a fight with Paracelsus, leaving him for dead. David then marries Pepeeta. Eventually, David meets Paracelsus, who was not killed, but was blinded in the fight. David, feeling remorse, allows Paracelsus to try to stab him, but Paracelsus drops dead in the attempt. David, with the help of Pepeeta, begins to regain his faith. Written by scsu1975 See less
