I have it till Chap 12, 'SLAVE IS ALTERED', ending with the words 'The other two ladies followed their host's example and crowded around Slave's face.'.

This being neither the chapter's end nor the book's conclusion. But the incredibly gifted writer, Mr Ed, never finished a book in his literary life, and has dropped out of sight. An all too familiar story.

My copy also has Chap 9 - 'THINGS CHANGE'.

Connoisseurs are welcome to it.
