Excerpt from The Cobra Diamond, Vol. 2 of 3
Fortune's buffets are those of a schoolmaster, but the scholar is sometimes long in learning his lesson. Some receive this with compunction, some with defiance. Monty that night drank a great deal of wine at his club. He then sallied out to see if rubicon picquet would deaden the pangs of remorse and love. He played wildly. Colonel Prospectus was his chief antagonist. He lost and lost, little heeding. At a late hour he found himself in the street. Once or twice he thought he heard steps dogging him.
