Harding's Luck has a pawnshop owner who's meant to be basically quite nice, but, well, you can fill in the rest.
I don't think I've read Harding's Luck. I shall do so carefully if I decide to.
I can hardly find anything online except Nesbit herself and the Star Trek episode.
Well, this is definitely not the book I remember reading, but the detail about Cincinnati is fascinating! That was according to William Wells Newell in 1883. I am a little skeptical about all the mythological origins and connections, but the collection of variant names and rules is probably reliable.
