Opis: A Tail of Gold (Classic Reprint) - Hennessey David

Excerpt from A Tail of Gold

A man read from an old diary -

'In the miner's dolly-pot it yielded a fair sample of what one might expect to get out of a bulk crushing from the gold-bearing reef of Humanity. Panned out in the prospecting dish, the sample showed a tail of gold, which, if not wholly satisfactory, gave encouragement to proceed...'

'But, Joe...'

'No buts, please. I'm just weary of the lure of life, and the lure of women, and the lure of gold. If people would only say what they positively think, and have actually seen, and really know; but they won't. So it's good for them, sometimes, to have the honest truth told in homely Saxon. If you think "damn" and mean "damn" write damn, and not D and a dash. I had a theory myself once; but it was a broken theory. Broken Confound it, no!' he shouted. 'It was smashed to atoms... and by the hand of a woman.'

That was all we could get out of him, so I have called this story - which is largely his - 'A Tail of Gold.'
