From The Rope Dance
by Rex Stout
It was on a bright October afternoon that Rick Duggett got off at Grand Central Station, New York. He had eight
hundred dollars in the pocket of his brand new suit of clothes. But first of all it is necessary to explain how he got
there and where the money came from.
He was one of those men who never do anything by halves. He ate a huge amount or fasted. He slept eleven
hours or not at all. He sat in a poker game only when it was expressly understood that the roof was the limit and you
might blow that off if you had enough powder.
Whatever he did he went just a little farther than anyone else. So it was only natural that he should reach the top
of his profession. He was the best roper in Eastern Arizona, which is no mean title even in these days when good
ropers are as scarce as water holes in a desert.
When a prize of one thousand dollars cash was hung up in the great roping contest held at Honeville last October
everybody expected Rick Duggett to win it. He did not disappoint them. He roped and tied ten steers in fourteen
minutes and twenty-eight seconds, seven full minutes better than the nearest competitor.

How would the story be different if it was written primarily from Rick's point of view?
