[ Dreiser / The Financier ]


This novel, the first of a trilogy based on the life of American tycoon Charles Yerkes, has only one (metaphorical) reference to Newfoundlands. It occurs late, in Chapter 53:

"An' as for your friends and relations" — he got up and shook himself like a big Newfoundland dog. "You gotta wife, hain't you?"
