Elizabeth James reports Richard Connell's tale starts with a yacht ride in the Caribbean. Two men discuss hunting as Rainsford and Whitney debate the ethics of the sport before a misstep sends Rainsford overboard and he drifts toward an unknown island.
Richard Connell, born 1893, Harvard graduate, served with the AEF in France during World War I. He worked as a newspaper writer and editor, wrote cinema stories, and published notable tales such as Apes and Angels and Murder at Sea. The Most Dangerous Game was adapted for film years ago.
Rainsford traces the killer to General Zaroff’s chateau where a brutal guard, Ivan, and a game of cat and mouse unfolds. Rainsford escapes death by bloodhound and sets a trap that kills Ivan and night ends with Zaroff hunted by his own prey.
A playful dialogue questions color names and a snail character delays a game as darkness falls. The exchange notes a blue moment when donned and hints at an impending call to end the match.
The dialogue features Johnny, Tommy, and Lily in quick quips about professions and a mortgage. A duck and a bird supply the punchlines while Mose mentions a temporary mortgage hold until foreclosure. A playful domestic scene ends with a joke about a boy with a black eye.
A Chinaman fears a vicious dog and the owner cites the saying a barking dog never bites. The Chinaman replies that both sides know proverbs but questions whether the dog understands them.
