"For three months now I have never won a single game," said he. "Have you the aces?" asked the old lady. "Yes, one more to mark," said he. "Shall I come and advise you?" said Adelaide. "No, no. Stay where I can see you. By Gad, it would be losing too much not to have you to look at!" At last the game was over.
The Judge and the Eminent Person hitched along to make room between them. "I'm not playing to-night," Steve began. He was cut short by a torrent of scoffing advice and information. "Only one hundred to come in all you got to get out." "Another victim!" "Bet 'em high and sleep in the streets!" Cuter goes for aces and flushes." "Just give us what you can spare handy and go to bed.
He lacked two cards to make the highest point possible, but Henri, by their absence from his own hand, could measure the peril that menaced him. So, surveying the number of cards that remained in stock, he guarded carefully three aces of trumps which might help him to avert disaster.
As usual they were inclined to be jocular, and greeted the limping Beverly with a volley of questions, as well as remarks concerning that "luck" of which he had talked. "They can't get you, no matter how they try, Beverly," one called out. "Another machine to the scrap-heap!" laughingly observed the most celebrated of Yankee aces, slapping Colin on the shoulder.
The countenances of the Easterner and the Swede were miserable whenever the cowboy thundered down his aces and kings, while Johnnie, his eyes gleaming with joy, chuckled and chuckled. Because of the absorbing play none considered the strange ways of the Swede. They paid strict heed to the game.
The few mouthfuls of food stirred up all his craving, and he found it impossible to keep his eyes from Bucky Smith and his beans. Bucky was the only one who seemed well fed, and his horror increased when Henry bent over him and said, in a low whisper: "He didn't get my beans fair. I had three aces and a pair, of deuces, an' he took it on three fives and two sixes.
The deakin that was with Ma got the jack of spades and three aces and a deuce, and Ma got some nine spots and a king of hearts, and Ma nearly fainted, cause she didn't get a better hand, I spose. The preacher got a pair of deuces, and a queen of hearts, and he looked up at Pa as though it was a misdeal, and a old woman who sat across the aisle, she only got two cards, but that was enough.
"I paid fifty dollars for it!" piped the youth, passing the watch across the board. Both men examined it. "Oh, well, I don't know anything about watches, but I'll take your word for it. Stick her up here's the fifty." "I've got four aces!" squealed the reporter as he spread them out face upward. He stared wildly at the other, and his hands made wet marks where they touched the board.
I should rely on the French in time of war as on four aces; they are a warlike people, and since the times of Thaddeus Kosciuszko the world has not had such a military genius as the great Emperor Bonaparte.
"I'm raisin' yuh five hundred, 'Cotton-picker," sneered the bearded man insolently. He had a pair of aces in sight a formidable hand and if his hole card was also an ace, Kid Wolf had not a chance in the world. The best the Texan could show up was a pair of treys.
