You'll wish you knew none of it at the great assizes, when the devil calls for Guido Tabary, clericus the devil with the humpback and red-hot fingernails. Talking of the devil," he added, in a whisper, "look at Montigny!" All three peered covertly at the gamester. He did not seem to be enjoying his luck.
