Excerpt from A Hand in the Game

I will, and thank you. It's only to take this letter to the top of the stairs across the street and deliver it. A friend was to have delivered it for me, but he did not come and it will not wait.

She held out a business-like looking letter and I took it. It was addressed in a delicate hand and bore an unfamiliar name.

Excerpt from A Hand in the Game

A viciously thrown snowball missed the target which it was hurled by my reckless hand, and struck one that was chosen by me fate. A pair of red lips, sweet and tender and beautiful, and my cruel little missile, mischievously flung in wanton carelessness, came into conjunction like the stars in a plotted horoscope, foretelling a strange new fortune for me.

She was slender and small and dark and lovely as the loveliest red rose that ever opened its flushed petals to the day. I was a great, blundering young giant with more strength than sense, more pugnacity than judgment, more hair-brained recklessness than sober experience. It was April - yes, April with snow - and spring was in the air after one parting norther had trailed a white wake across the wide flat countryside. She was at home in the little suburban village where the train that carried me cityward had been stopped by the mere accident of a freight-spill - though I call it by a different name now.
