Roger Frank and Sue Clark "He Swallows Gold" by H. Bedford-Jones is a work of fiction written in the early 20th century, likely reflecting the advent of modernist themes. This novella revolves around themes of deception, cultural clashes, and moral ambiguity, set against a backdrop of early 20th-century Southeast Asia, particularly in the contexts of Chinese trade and customs. The story follows Reginald Carefrew, a swindler who finds himself in trouble after swindling innocent Chinese traders. Seeking refuge in Sabang, he engages in a fateful purchase of a jade candlestick with deadly implications. Li Mow Gee, a key figure in the Chinese trading community, harbors intentions of vengeance against Carefrew, whose actions have led to the suicide of a relative. As Carefrew naively believes he has made a lucrative buy, the actions of Li Mow Gee unveil the dire consequences of his past, leading to a tragedy intertwined with cultural beliefs surrounding honor and revenge. The tension builds as Carefrew's seemingly innocent actions trigger a series of fatal events, ultimately culminating in his demise, framed within the ominous notion that he has "swallowed gold."
