Tracing a book by E M Foster

I have heard of a book by E M Foster about a person who was rescued by another person, but because they were unable to put a monetary price on their own life they just said Thank You.

Sorry for the sketchy details but I wondered if anyone could help me with the name of this book please?

Sorry, I should have said E M Forster not Foster.

Google suggests that it's a short story called "The Rock"

Thank you so much for replying.

I have just tried to buy it on Book Depository, Ebay and Amazon and no results showing for it on any of them. I would love to be able to read it.

Apparently this story is in a collection called 'The Life to come and other stories', OP. Amazon have it in paperback but I haven't looked at the other sites. You should be able to get hold of a copy by the looks of it, though.

Thank you so much Terpsichore, I have found it and ordered it now under that title.

I really appreciate all of your help in finding this book, thank you all.
