Abstract
"With half an hour to dress for a dinner at a house party which includes the Prince of Wales (Later Edward VII), a distinguished solider is accused by some of his fellow guests of having cheated at cards. He is presented with an ultimatum either he must sign an undertaking never to play cards again, in which case silence will be maintained, or he will be denounced next morning on Doncaster Racecourse, in which case, innocent or guilty, he will be ruined." - Cover
