He gazed indifferently at the heap of coin and paper that lay on the table, and which, by the law of play, was now his own. "Trente et le va," he said. "I knew that it would come. Sir Arthur, I half regret to rob thee thus, but I shall ask my slipper in hand paid. Pardon me, too, if I chide thee for risking it in play. Gentlemen, there is much in this little shoe, empty as it is."
Trente et quarante with cards and for that you must go to another room, for all is roulette here. In the card game a louis is the smallest stake. At roulette it is five francs." "I have only five hundred francs," Mary announced. "Then I advise roulette. Besides, it is more amusing. Never can one tire of seeing the wheel go round, and wondering where the dear little white ball will come to rest."
He wrote romances, of little power, the best being "Rose et Ninette" of 1892, but his imaginative work steadily declined in value. He published in 1887 his reminiscences, "Trente Ans de Paris," and later on his "Souvenirs d'un Homme de Lettres." He suffered more and more from his complaint, from the insomnia it caused, and from the abuse of chloral.
Trente et quarante is perhaps a little more favourable to players than roulette, though it depends very much on the shuffling of the cards. Piles of gold and notes were laid upon the table, either for or against the numbers backed turning up.
General Baraguey d'Hilliers, who occupied Trente, had to fall back upon Roveredo, and then upon Rivoli. The Italian as well as the German Tyrolese had reconquered their independence; from one end of the mountains to the other re-echoed the name of the Emperor Francis and that of the Archduke John, whom the peasants were impatiently awaiting since the news of his first successes in Italy.
Those people will go to the roulette and trente et quarante rooms to amuse themselves for half an hour till the beginning of the next act." "It is the roulette I want, not the opera," Mary heard herself say, as if some one else were speaking. "Ah, Mademoiselle has her ticket of admission?"
Certes ce n'est pas sous la domination de Cesar qu'on pourroit aller chercher l'Epouse legitime de J. C. Mais doit-on esperer la trouver dans la creation combinee de la volonte tyrannique de Henri VIII. et de la politique d'Elisabeth, tandis que la Doctrine comme la Discipline du Concile de Trente ne vous laisse rien a desirer, et conquiert deja vos suffrages?...
They came into a very noble room, the largest of all, with enormous mirrors down to the ground, and a ceiling blazing with gold, and the air glittering with lusters. Two very large tables, and a distinguished company at each, especially at the trente et quarante. Before our little party had taken six steps into the room, Zoe stood like a pointer; and Fanny backed.
Mais aimer et vous voir aimée Est une douce liaison, Que dans notre coeur s'est formée De concert avec la raison. D'une amoureuse sympathie, Il faut pour arrêter le cours Arrêter celui de nos jours; Sa fin est celle de la vie. Puissent les destins complaisants, Vous donner encore trente ans D'amour et de philosophie.
Twice in the week concerts are executed by the first performers of the opera-bouffe; and twice in the week invitations to tea-parties are sent to some of the neighbours, or accepted from them. Besides four billiard-tables, there are other gambling-tables for Rouge et Noir, Trente et Quarante, Faro, La Roulette, Birribi, and other games of hazard.
