Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Winds of Chance With an ostentatious flourish Mr. "Lucky" Broad placed a crisp ten-dollar bill in an eager palm outstretched across his folding-table. "The gentleman wins and the gambler loses!" Mr. Broad proclaimed to the world. "The eye is quicker than the hand, and the dealer´s moans is music to the stranger´s ear." With practised touch he rearranged the three worn walnut-shells which constituted his stock in trade. Beneath one of them he deftly concealed a pellet about the size of a five-grain allopathic pill. It was the erratic behavior of this tiny ball, its mysterious comings and goings, that had summoned Mr. Broad´s audience and now held its observant interest. This audience, composed of roughly dressed men, listened attentively to the seductive monologue which accompanied the dealer´s deft manipulations, and was greatly entertained thereby. "Three tiny tepees in a row and a little black medicine-man inside." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
