Stewards enquiry

When entering a hotel where she and her husband were staying, Gladys, a devout Baptist, noticed a shabbily dressed man lounging idly in front of the newspaper stand in the lobby. She noticed that several men stopped to talk to him and gave him a little money. He seemed so cheered by the encounters she impulsively put £10 in an envelope, wrote 'God Bless" on the outside, and handed it to him.
The next day the man stopped her on the street. "Here's your £290.00," he said cheerily. "God Bless won 28 to 1!"
