Présentation de l'éditeur
Chapter I. HOME AGAIN. JACK ROCK stood in his shop in High Street. He was not very often to be seen there nowadays ;he bred and bought, but he no longer killed, and rarely sold, in person. These latter and lesser functions he left to his deputy, Simpson, for he had gradually developed a bye-trade which took up much of his time, and was no less profitable than his ostensible business. He bought horses, made them into hunters, and sold them again. He was a rare judge and a fine rider, and his heart was in this line of work. However to-day he was in his shop because the Christmas beef was on show.
