Cyrus Bull
7. August 2004
This is wicked fun. Greedy Cyrus bull is often bitten by his success. He marries Enid who has "everything but looks and personality." He nearly goes broke (on her fortune), before he figures how to beat the market.
Cyrus falls in love with an unattainable beauty and starts a lifelong feud with Fielding duMont who would be, "the best salesman on earth if he would ever learn what he was selling."
Bull makes three tries at taking over a Philadelphia bank before he gets it right, but finds that the bank's executive assistant, Ramona, who has perfect legs, is his partner as well as his mistress. Then he shorts the stock in a Mexican insurance company and finds himself in the home of its boss, who has been drowned. He comforts the gorgeous widow and solves the crime, blackmailing the murderer into the use of 50-million dollars of capital.
Later, in France, when duMont and his wife ask Cyrus to bail them out of a corporate acquisition that goes wrong, Cyrus sets a trap. Distracted by the ample charms of Joyce Ebbers he actually gives Fielding advice that, instead of landing him in an Italian jail, solves the problem. Cyrus is furious, and cuts off his affair with Joyce, complaining that her voice is right out of Duluth.
Finally, Cyrus admits that his fashion-plate second wife is, "like an ice cube, she is a wasting asset.'
Cyrus story pours out over when an inquisitive reporter asks too many questions, and is stunned when he finds something like the truth about himself and the reporter.
Sassy and brusque, this is a good read.
