On this occasion things did not arrange themselves comfortably.

From the very commencement Fisker won, and quite a budget of little papers fell into his possession, many of which were passed to him from the hands of Sir Felix,--bearing, however, a 'G' intended to stand for Grasslough, or an 'N' for Nidderdale, or a wonderful hieroglyphic which was known at the Beargarden to mean D.L.,--or Dolly Longestaffe, the fabricator of which was not present on the occasion.
Then there was the M.G.of Miles Grendall, which was a species of paper peculiarly plentiful and very unattractive on these commercial occasions.

Paul Montague hitherto had never given an I.O.U.at the Beargarden,--nor of late had our friend Sir Felix.

On the present occasion Montague won, though not heavily.

Sir Felix lost continually, and was almost the only loser.
