Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Boy Grew Older "Your son was born ten minutes ago," said the voice at the other end of the wire. "I´ll be up," replied Peter Neale, "right away." But it wasn´t right away. First he had to go upstairs to the card room and settle his losses. Indeed he played one more pot for when he returned to the table his deal had come around again. He felt that it was not the thing to quit just then. The other men might think he had timed his departure in order to save the dollar ante. He dealt the cards and picked up four spades and a heart. Eventually, he paid five dollars to draw and again he had four spades and a heart. Nevertheless, he bet ten dollars but it was no go. His hands shook as he dropped the two blue chips in the centre of the table. The man with a pair of jacks noticed that and called. Peter threw his cards away. "I´ve got nothing - a busted flush. I want to cash in now. I owe for two stacks. That´s right, isn´t it? I haven´t any chips left. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
