But he became a partner. And when the Leger was coming on, Paul was "sure" about Lively Spark, which was a quite inconsiderable horse. The boy insisted on putting a thousand on the horse, Bassett went for five hundred, and Oscar Cresswell two hundred. Lively Spark came in first, and the betting had been ten to one against him. Paul had made ten thousand.

I think the author could be making a whole lot more money charging two dollars for this story to be read in someone's Kindle Reader. I was surprised to see the book was so skinny, until I read some of the spec's that amazon has for it. Only 43 pages. That is only pamphlet or brochure size. Will it won't take me long to read this skinny little booklet. Also it is easy to pack in a purse or other small bag. I have thoroughly enjoyed the movie version with John Howard Davies and I'll enjoy the book to.

I think everyone should read this, especially if you are one of those who always say you never have enough..... If you have never read D. H. Lawrence you are missing some wonderful literature....

What D.H. Lawrence did so well in this short story was how he fully depicts the potent yet unverbalized influences on the psyche of the boy, as well as the subsequent changes in his feeling and behavior. If I were asked to explain the story to a third person, I would say, "Read it!"
