Описание к видео The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving, audiobook and full text

Set around 1727 near Boston, Massachusetts, the story centers on Tom Walker, a cheap and stingy miser who lives with his equally greedy but more abusive wife. One day Tom Walker runs into the devil incarnate in form of a swarthy, soot-covered lumberjack named “Old Scratch.” Old Scratch continues to protect Kidd the pirates hidden treasure long after he is gone. Old Scratch now offers Tom full access to Kidd’s hidden gold, in return for which Tom must give up his soul.
Tom makes his deal with the devil and enjoys all of the benefits of the deal. Then as he grows reflective in his old age, he looks for a scheme to get out the bargain. However, in the end the devil always gets his due.
