Each had before him a small board on which was sometimes painted, sometimes rudely marked with charcoal, numbers from 1 to 6. On some of the boards the numbers were indicated by playing-cards, from ace to six-spot, tacked down. The man who "ran" the game had a dice-box, with three dice.
"You turn the cards," Flandrau said. A king of diamonds showed first, then a ten-spot and a six-spot of the same suit. "A flush," exulted Blackwell. "I've got just one more ten left, but it says you're wrong." The words were not out of Curly's mouth before the other had taken the bet. Soapy looked at Flandrau with a new interest. Perhaps this boy was not such a youth as he had first seemed.
At the last I was brought face to face with a most intricately planned defeat; a defeat insured by one spot on a card. Had the obstructive card been a six-spot of clubs instead of a seven-spot, victory was mine. I pointed this out to Miss Kate, who had declined a chair at the table and had chosen to stand beside my own.
