    About this ebook

    The Man Who Could Not Lose' is a short story written by Richard Harding Davis. The story begins by introducing us to Champneys Carter and Dolly Ingram, a couple in love who get married despite opposition from their mutual friends and Dolly's mother. Dolly's mother is a social leader who has been grooming her daughter to marry an English Duke, and disapproves of Champ due to his struggles with debt and low income as a writer. Despite these challenges, Champ and Dolly choose to follow their hearts.
