Yes, you are right, it is the same cigar-case you admired so much in Lockhart's the other day. Well, we have given you an instance of our bona-fides. But £250 is of no use to you at present.
They were indebted to him for much useful information, though for some time his bonâ-fides were suspected because of his pushful partiality for conflict with any nationality rather than his own.
They took it for granted that Jim had gone into his bona-fides and that he was "square." He took up a position at the end of the table nearest the door, and apparently watched the game before staking. In reality he was studying the faces of the players.
