The Englishman at his side glanced across the sea of chairs at the handsome old man they had been watching. ‘Ten pounds, ’ he said. ‘All right, I’ll take you. You’ve no idea what a safe little place England is.’

It’s almost a pity to take your money, though I’m giving you better odds than any Insurance Corporation in the States would offer.’
