Terse summary of Alec d’Urberville’s fate? (spoiler alert!)

Once upon a time, there was a young woman named Tess who loved to play golf. One day while playing a round, she was paired up with an older man named Alec d’Urberville. Despite his charming demeanor, Tess quickly learned that he was a bit of a cad, as he frequently cheated by moving his ball closer to the hole when no one was looking.

Tess decided to take matters into her own hands and anonymously reported Alec’s cheating to the club’s management. As a result, Alec was banned from the club and his reputation was tarnished. He became known as a cad among the golf community.

Years later, a crossword puzzle appeared in the local newspaper. One of the clues read, “Terse summary of Alec d’Urberville’s fate? (spoiler alert!)” Tess immediately knew the answer – CADDIES. It was a clever play on words, as Alec’s fate was ultimately decided by his unscrupulous behavior on the golf course, and caddies are the ones who assist golfers with their game.

Tess couldn’t help but chuckle to herself as she filled in the answer. She may have lost touch with Alec over the years, but his legacy as a cad on the golf course would always be remembered – at least in her mind and in the local crossword puzzle.
