Excerpt from Mr. Spinks and His Hounds: A Hunting Story The intelligence thus acutely acquired enabled him to invest the substantial profits accruing from the sale of his inimitable hair-wash to the best advantage and such was his good fortune in the choice of investments that by the time any ordinary hairdresser would have been merely in comfortable circumstances, Spinks was very well advanced into his second hundred thousand.
