A Happy New Year!
I have a very simple question about the "gold" in the following passage. I think "gold" refers to some kind of sport, but cannot find any meaning related to sport in the dictionary. Or does it simply mean "money"?
======================
Mr. Mangan was a lawyer of the new-fashioned school,�Harrow and Cambridge, the Bath Club, racquets and fives, rather than gold and lawn tennis. Instead of saying "God bless my soul!" he exclaimed "Great Scott!" dropped a very modern-looking eyeglass from his left eye, and leaned back in his chair with his hands in his pockets. |
