...revenge have driven him from the plush meadows of polo estates. Playing one on one matches with wealthy opponents, writing books about the dangers of horse-back riding, living on a retainer at the beck of rich polo patrons, Fabian has actually earned a living at polo. But he never settles down, he's always after the best polo game, as well as the best of his other two passions--sleep...

Dylan even stoops to a Barry Manilowesque "Babe, ask me how I feel and if my love is real" construction...
