I'll get into a card-game with him I'll quarrel over gold I'll smash him as I did once before and this time I won't shoot off his ear. I've my nerve now. Kells swore he'd do anything for me if I stand by him now. I will. You never can tell. Kells is losing his grip. And my standing by him may save you." Joan drew a deep breath. Jim Cleve had indeed come into manhood.
In one corner sit four stout French civilians, playing a mysterious card-game. At the very next table we find ourselves among friends. Here are Major Kemp, also Captain Blaikie. They are accompanied by Ayling, Bobby Little, and Mr. Waddell. The battalion came out of trenches yesterday, and for the first time found itself in urban billets.
As soon as they finished eating, they wandered outside to smoke and make common cause against the interloper. For their usual card-game they adjourned to Stiffy and Mahooley's. Only Joe and Sam were left, one sitting on each side of the fire with that look in his eyes that girls know of determination not to be the first to leave. Bela came and sat down between them with sewing.
"I'm sure that you will both be interested to hear what we have to say to each other; and you can tell everybody about it afterwards and that will be so much better than having the card-game delayed any more." And with this side-swipe Sylvia arose. She stood and waited, to make sure that her ex-fiancé was not too paralysed to follow.
Between them that Patricia might have her card-game, that he might sit upon a platform for an hour or two with a half-dozen other pompous fools they had let Agatha die. There was no mercy in him for Patricia or for himself. He wished Patricia had been a man.
Jim, I have found since I have been over on the floor that the Southern gambling blood that made my grandfather, on one of his trips back from New York, though he had more land and slaves than he could use, stake his land and slaves yes, and grandmother's too on a card-game, and lose, and change the whole face of the Brownley destiny those same gambling microbes are in my blood, and when they begin to claw and gnaw I want to do something; and, Jim" and the big brown eyes suddenly shot sparks "if those microbes ever get unleashed, there'll be mischief to pay on the floor sure there will!"
