Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of a man named Dick Gordon, who was born with more money than brains and made a sincere effort to spend as much of it as he could in the shortest possible time. He is a regular at the Federal Club, a serene and dignified establishment that has watched the bustling city beneath it grow and grow for more than half a century. The Federal is a type of the life of the older city, aristocratic, dignified and reserved. One fateful night at the club, Gordon wins a great deal of money playing bridge with three men. The four men then celebrate his win with an excessive amount of champagne and Gordon, the worse for wear, tells the others that he is going to quit his playboy ways and settle down. The others laugh at him, but Gordon is serious. He has fallen in love with a woman named May Sinclair, and he knows that he needs to change his ways if he wants to win her. The book follows Gordon as he tries to change his life. He gives up drinking, gambling, and womanizing, and he starts working hard at his job as a stockbroker. At first, it is difficult for him to adjust to his new life, but he eventually succeeds and wins the love of May Sinclair. This book is a heartwarming story about how even the most unlikely people can change their lives for the better. It is also a reminder that it is never too late to find love.
