You, Lai Sheng's wife, will every day have to exercise general supervision and inspection; and should there be those who be lazy, any who may gamble, drink, fight or wrangle, come at once and report the matter to me; and you mustn't show any leniency, for if I come to find it out, I shall have no regard to the good old name of three or four generations, which you may enjoy.
"If I had so tantalizingly pretty a girl so interested in my fortunes I wouldn't care whether they perfected aeroplanes or not," he ventured with the freedom of an old friend. "You may come down now, thank you," she sweetly informed him. "Can't you get Mr. Gamble to make you his receiver or trustee, or something, for the irrigation company?" "I might now," mused Loring.
She set out to be intelligently ignorant to be anything else was called "middle-class" in her set and she achieved her end, although she could do some things extremely well play bridge, gamble in stocks and shares and anything else, and arrange lights and colours with the skill of an artist when a suitable setting for her pretty self was concerned.
I had lumbago when I was seven." "Humph! Gamble, play cards, bet on races, go around raising cain with a lot of young devils at night?" "No, I don't," said Bean, with a hint of sullen defiance. He wanted to add: "And I don't go round voting and breaking windows, either," but he was not equal to this.
When contrasted with the ordinary grog-shop and gambling den of Lame Gulch, the barroom of the Mountain Lion has an air of comfort and propriety which is almost a justification of its existence. If men must drink and gamble, and no one acquainted with a mining-camp would think of doubting the necessity, here, at least, is a place where they may do so with comparative decency and decorum.
They all loved to gamble, so one of them opened a chuckaluck game. They were putting down their money with both hands, and the game was over $400 winner. I thought I would give him a little play, so I went to my room and got a set of dice the same size as he was using, and then changed in a five without winning a bet. Then I asked him if I could shake them once for luck.
One o'clock was striking as the game broke up, and there's Beverley yawning and waiting for his hat, d' ye see, when in comes the Golden Ball. 'Ha, Beverley! says he, 'you gamble, they tell me? 'Oh, now and then, says Beverley. 'Why then, says Golden Ball, 'you may have heard that I do a little that way, myself? Now you mention it, I believe I have, says Beverley.
What does he mean by a bad speculation? a loss 'on the whole gamble'? I know or at least I thought I knew every number on which he had put his money. It won't affect his financial position, he says. I should think not! It would take a bigger Colossus than that of Rhodes to overshadow Helmsley in the market!
I am not wanted here now, or later at your feast; but there are plenty in this village and around it who will make me welcome, and their company will be more pleasing to me, I assure you, than that of your friends. We thought of having some tarok this evening. Leopold will be with us, and the young Count is coming. He loves a gamble, and is most amusing when he is in the mood.
Gambling is the hardest work that you can persuade an Indian to do, unless threatened by starvation. Different tribes gamble differently. The Comanches, undoubtedly, have by far the most exciting and fascinating gambling games. The Comanche puzzles, tricks and problems are also decidedly superior to those of any other nation. The gambling bone is used by the Comanches.
