Fool's Luck in Paris as Smith Meets Gaythornes and Mullers
A lively Paris anecdote follows Smith who, in Latin Quarter and at Longchamp, avoids crowds while wearing a distinct ensemble. He turns up with a mysterious bundle containing a pocketbook and a letter from Anthony J. Gaythorne, leading to wary banter with Pollard and eventual ties to Gaythorne, Mrs. Muller, and a circle of American and English students. Smith gains allies but denies guilt while the group imagines a larger fortune behind the clover leaf and the hidden haul.
