Under a Cloud (novel)

[1] A jockey deliberately rides his horse to defeat in order to secure the hand of the girl he loves.

"[2] A book critic from the Australian Worker said that: At times Wright moves his characters so quickly that he seems to lose tab of their doings.

For instance, in his latest book, 'Under a Cloud'... he makes his hero put 5s.

Either Wright is a bad arithmetician or that bookmaker was altogether too generous to shout the odds in the ear of a wicked world.

Still, the average sensation-seeker doesn't mind a mere errors in arithmetic when exciting deeds are oozing out of every page.
