The Fighting Chance Chambers Robert William

Fighting Chance, The, by Robert W. Chambers (1906). This is the story of a man who has a "fighting chance" to win the girl he loves and to conquer his inherited taste for drink. His name is Stephen Siward; he belongs to a prominent New York family and has an attractive and winning personality. He goes to visit at a friend's country house and there meets Sylvia Landis, a charming society girl, who captivates him utterly. Stephen is under a cloud as he has just been dropped from his club on account of an escapade in which he had taken part while in an intoxicated condition, Sylvia, however, overlooks his failings, and although engaged to another man, feels strongly drawn towards Siward.
