...George Washington. For "the bon vivant who dreams of rubbing shoulders with the international smart set, the gay dog who would risk all on a turn of the card, there is the 'Monaco' with 'Sea Mist Polish Finish, interior richly lined in 600 Aqua Supreme Cheney velvet, magnificently quilted and shirred, with matching jumbo bolster and coverlet...
Buckinghamshire's chief constable, Brigadier John Cheny Cheney (Eton, Sandhurst, India), did not even bother to enlist Scotland Yard's help in the train robbery until nearly a day after it happened.

Wright's second marriage, to monocled Sculptress Miriam Noel, wore thin in three years. Soon Wright was in the tabloid headlines again, jailed for crossing state borders with a handsome...
Mike Schumann and pinch-hitter Ron Cheney led off with scratch singles. Then Dick Morrison, attempting to sacrifice, bunted a low, twisting pop-up down the third base line. Emmet made a head-first dive for the ball, knocking it into foul territory, and the bases were loaded. Clearly rattled by the play, the tall lefthander walked the next two batters, forcing in two Eli runs, before he was finally replaced by Byron Johnson...
