Besides his trouble with the Governor, Connolly was in trouble with the U. S. His friend Phillips was last week arrested in Florida, charged with Federal income tax evasions of some three millions. Connolly's income tax returns were being looked up too. Awaiting his fate, Connolly borrowed fortitude from tradition. Of the three Queens presidents preceding this, one (Cassidy) went to Sing Sing; one (Bermel) fled to Europe; one (Gresser) was removed for incompetence on the matter that Connolly was elected to reform, Sewers...

...narrative. Willie is not an inveterate gambler, in fact he is naive to the point of ignorance. Temperamentally he is a graceful loser, but fundamentally he is at a loss to cope with the situation. From the general nature of Schnitzler's work, the tremendous coincidence of Fate at the end, was hardly to be expected. One looked for a more realistic, if less dramatic ending. The chief characteristic of the book is the manner in which it sustains the interest even through a seant two hundred pages. It is literally impossible to put it down, once started, which...
