Type: SERIAL
Language: English
Note: Published October 1899 as the fifth in a series of five stories, all subtitled "A Story of the Days to Come" (parenthetically dated Anno Domini). The title years span 2090 to 2098, and as set in year 2097 this story first breaks the chronological sequence. Under the revised title "Bindon Intervenes" --already in the 1899 Doubleday & McClure collection Tales of Space and Time (Contents list viewed at HathiTrust)-- this story remains the last chapter, or titled section, of the novella "A Story of the Days to Come" (1899); or the last story in that collection of linked stories. Unknown whether "The Magnanimity of the Man of Pleasure" or year 2097 appears in chapter/section headings in any later publications.
