HEART'S TRUMPS
MORGAN O'BRIEN has a heart. Not that he is a human phenomenon in the possession of this physical appurtenance, for there are many men with hearts — but, figuratively, made of stone. M. O'B. is one of those white men with a white heart — and, by the way, he is the proprietor of an hostelry in Christchurch that boasts the name White Hart. Morgan is one of the city's sporting men; trotting in particular, but all kinds of clean, he-man sport in general. He has no flair for fireworks, no fancy for men with forensic frills. You've got to talk to him straight and he'll understand you. Well-set-up, military of bearing, crisp of speech, he can be counted as one of those gentlemen-sportsmen who figure in modern fiction.
