The Rocking-Horse Winner by D. H. Lawrence — How Much Luck Is Enough?
The High Price of Greed
A beautiful woman married for love, and the love turned to dust. The family lives in style, always a little past its means, and the house has started to whisper. Her small son hears it. He would like very much to be lucky. D. H. Lawrence wrote this for a book of ghost stories in 1926, and it remains one of the most unsettling things he ever put on paper.
