There were five tables of poker going at one time, so I opened up the good old game of monte for the benefit of a lot of Texas boys that didn't play poker. They all got around the table and watched me throw. In a short time my capper came up and wanted me to show him how to play the game. I showed him, and he wanted to bet a dollar.
They stood together for a moment on the steps before parting. Her hand in his, he looked straight into her quiet eyes. "You're not grieving any, Lady Carfax?" "No," she said.
