Chapter 5: A False Spring
Explanation and Analysis—Racing and Betting:
Betting on races (mostly horse races, but also cycling) is a motif in the book. In Chapter 5, Hemingway's summary of his and Hadley's first day at the races foreshadows the end of their marriage:
[W]e had made plenty of money, big money for us, and now we had spring and money too. I thought that was all we needed. A day like that one, if you split the winnings one quarter for each to spend, left a half for racing capital. I kept the racing capital secret and apart from all other capital and there was racing at some track every day.
