To a stranger Madame Wolsky might have appeared almost indifferent; but there had come two spots of red on her cheeks, and the hand with which she raked up the money trembled. The words rang out, "Faites vos jeux, Messieurs, Mesdames." Then, "Le jeu est fait! Rien ne va plus!" The luck suddenly turned against Anna. She looked up, and found Sylvia's eyes fixed on her.
There was but little chatter. The hundreds of well-dressed idlers escaping the winter were too intent upon the game. But above the click of the plaques, blue and red of different sizes, as they were raked into the bank by the croupiers, and the clatter of counters as the lucky players were paid with deft hands, there rose ever and anon: "Messieurs! Faites vos jeux!"
Never be angry at table, no matter what may happen, or even if you have cause for anger, do not show it, especially if strangers are present. 106th.

He gave a short laugh. "The doctrine of faith! I'm afraid I've outgrown it many years ago." "Faites vos jeux, messieurs," intoned the croupier. The Englishman tossed a coin on to number nine.
"De la reine," answered the Highlander, giving the name of a well-known French regiment commanded by Bougainville; and then he added in a low voice, "Ne faites pas de bruit; ce sont les vivres" for a convoy with provisions was expected by the French. The Highlanders were at the forefront in the stiff climb up the heights which proved to be Wolfe's master stroke.
"No sham if you please, madame speak! What the devil have you done with the money?" "Really, sir," said Monsieur Goupille, drawing tip his cravat, "this is very extraordinary conduct! What have you got to say to this lady's money? it is my money now, sir!" "Oho! it is, is it? We'll soon see that. Approchez donc, Monsieur Favart, faites votre devoir."
Round a large table covered with a carpet of green cloth, which was divided by lines and figures, some men were seated on high chairs, making them appear like officers; others, on lower chairs, or simply standing about the table, pushed or picked up the louis and bank bills on the green cloth, and a strong voice repeated, in a monotonous tone: "Messieurs, faites votre jeu! Le jeu est fait!
Back to Jeanne-Marie with her promise unfulfilled? "I will keep my promise, I will not be frightened," thinks the poor child, bravely; "I will fancy that papa is in the room, and that he will take care of me." And all these thoughts pass through he head while the croupier is crying, "Faites votre jeu, Messieurs, faites votre jeu!" and in, and on she goes again.
