So Kirby, he an' a feller named Carver a tin-horn planned it out betwixt 'em ter copper ol' Beaucaire's coin, an' pick up them gurls along with it." "But how cud they do thet?" "Luck mostly, I reckon, an' Kirby's brains. The plan wus ter git Beaucaire inter a poker game, ease him 'long a bit, an' then break him, land, niggers, an' all.

The affair must have cut Beaucaire's pride deeply, but he had to face the conditions.
