Excerpt from The Man Who Could Not Lose
They found Dromedary in the paddock, and thanked him, and Carter left Dolly with him, while he ran to collect his winnings; As though giving a signal, he shot his hand into the air; Carter rose. - Leaning forward with a nod and a smile, he presented the programme to the beautiful Miss Winter; His eyes were wide with excitement, greed, and fear. In his hands he clutched the two suit-cases. Get out, he shouted; Then I am to understand, he exclaimed, that you refuse to carry out the wishes of a United States Senator and of the President of the United States?; With a cockney accent that made even the accompanist grin, Ford lifted his voice; Something white sank through the semi-darkness. It was a woman's glove; Then, covered by the fire from the roofs, he sprang to the lamps and tilted them until they threw their shafts into the windows of the third story
