What did you have?
Let's see, just for the fun of it." Blix spread her cards on the table.
"Not a blessed thing!" exclaimed Condy.

"I might have known it.
There's my last dollar gone, too.

Lend me fifty cents, Blix." Blix shook her head.
"Why, what a little niggard!" he exclaimed aggrievedly.

"I'll pay them all back to you." "Now, why should I lend you money to play against me?
I'll not give you a chip; and, besides, I don't want to play any more.

Let's stop." "I've a mind to stop for good; stop playing even with you." Blix gave a little cry of joy.
"Oh, Condy, will you, could you?
and never, never touch a card again?
never play for money?
I'd be so happy--but don't unless you know you would keep your promise.
