How did your game come out?" Blue Bonnet's eyes danced. "I beat Patty all hollow six love!" "Six love! Really? Why, that's splendid! Keep on and you'll make a record." "I expect to." Blue Bonnet drank her tea hastily and began making apologies. "Sorry to have to run," she said, gathering up her belongings, "but I've an important engagement."
She had on a pure white gauze frock, a small green bonnet and feathers, and a green veil, which, flung back over her left shoulder, hung below her waist, and was altogether such an engaging figure that no man could have passed her on the road without taking some note of her. Are you not making game of me? Did you not really meet with her?" "On my word of truth and honor, I did not.
By this first move the Princess's game was lost. IT was the peculiar misfortune of Madame des Ursins to scarcely meet with a single sincere friend in Spain: she was submitted to there, rather than accepted.

Whist-playing is one of the few vices of the upper classes that has not in time descended to the lower, with whom the ingenious and attractive game of 'All Fours' has always held its own against it. I have known but two men not belonging to the upper ten thousand who played well at whist. One was a well-known jockey in the South of England, who was also, by the way, an admirable billiard-player.
