Father-son relationship. A bishop's son, an Oxford undergraduate with extensive debts hopes to pay them off with a racehorse won in a game of cards and entered in a race at very long odds. His father has had extensive losses when an Australian bank fails and when the horse - in which the boy had sold a half-share to the trainer - wins, he offers the money to his father. The bishop confesses he knew the trainer from his Oxford days, the half share in the horse is his, and he won £60 000 on it. Humour. (PB)
