Final Say

'A gift?' Finn Taylor was stumped. 'Did I ever say that I was going to bring you a gift?'

He ignored the young lady and walked straight past her.

"Humph!" Kimberly Gold huffed when she couldn't get what she wanted. Nonetheless, she didn't dare to throw a tantrum at Finn Taylor for fear that he would leave.

She brought him to the garden.

Seeing that Finn Taylor had arrived, Third Master Gold took the initiative to introduce him. "Finn Taylor, let me introduce you to Carl Gillies—the president of San Francisco's chess association."

"Carl, this is the man I was talking about."

Carl Gillies sized Finn Taylor up. 'The latter is indeed a young man. At his age, I had thought that I was unbeatable in chess. However, I had learned its nuances as I spent more time analyzing the game. Even now that I'm the chess association's president, I still feel that I haven't mastered the game.'
