Flint (1960)
“There had been no worry about bills, she had been treated everywhere with respect, and she had not been curious enough to try to know him.
He was a means to money. Otherwise she was indifferent. Now she realized he was a mystery, and not only to her. Nobody knew anything about him or his background.
Nor was there any clue as to what had become of him. He seemed to have dropped off the world as if he had never been. With her father she went to the Virginia farm.
The house was closed and locked. Forcing a way in they could find no evidence that he had been there in some time. The few neighbors were remote and only one of them had known him slightly, but he had not seen him in more than a year.
Back in New York she paced the floor angrily. Her father, a large, heavy-set man, puffed a cigar. For the first time Lottie was seeing him as a ponderous, shoddy man with a little cunning and an easy flow of talk.
"He called in the Pinkertons, did he? Well, why don't we do the same? Mind you, girl..., when we find him we will find money.MoreLess

Why does Lamour always mention Scott, Trollope Dickens etc. At that particulat time Thackeray was atleast as popular as Dicens and more popular at times He was pre eminient compared to Trollope and Scott. Vanity Fair surpassed all other books that emerged at that period and for long after

I've seen Youtube videos of McCafferet trying to spart with Corbett and others .He ooked like a rank amateur who' never boxed before. I was surprised because he's often mentioned ny Lamour, who himself didn't have a self admitted record of 69-6 but had no more than 3-4 fights altogether.As Lamour says he was asrory teller, (and often not a truthful )one.
