Excerpt from The 14-Karat Trailer
Against this sombre background a lively tableau was unfolding. It was a christening. The glare of exploding flash bulbs revealed an enormous trailer, the streamlines of her sleek dove-grey body blending smoothly into the sophisticated curves of the cab-over-engine truck to which she was attached. Against the nose of the trailer a tall, beautiful blonde was smashing a magnum of champagne.
