Excerpt from Joey the Dreamer: A Tale of Clay Court It All began through a letter that was awaiting me upon my return to the city after two months spent in close association with trout, bass, pines, and other desirable things of the North in summer time. It was the year 19 -, a year of a Presidential election. The letter was from the secretary of the Society for the Improvement of Civic and Commercial Conditions in the City, and it announced a meeting Monday, the third, eight P. M., at the club. My attendance was particularly desired; there was a matter which was certain to develop to my interest. Could I come? A glance at the calendar showed that it was Monday, the third, and the clock showed seven forty-five. I had come back just in time; nothing remained but to call a cab and bid the man hurry. The Society was sitting in comfortable state, the small of its various backs resting solidly on the seats of the big club chairs. It was a notable gathering. There was, first of all, Dicky Clews, the youngest and the richest of them all. Then came the ex-minister to Austria. Seated beside him was the senator's brother, and the man whose money had bought the senator's seat, and who controlled him to his last opinion.
