"I sighted one: a fellow with a hell of a lot of gold plastered all over him. His gold chevrons shone like a Goddamned sunset.
"To your well-earned promotion, Wentworth!" they chorused heartily. In the lull of drinking, Madden lifted his water to his friend. "Here's to the remittance man," he proposed solemnly, "who vanishes to-night and leaves a Man."
