The devil would be sure to take me napping, and very much at unawares, if he should find me without dice.

With this, the three dice being taken out, produced, and thrown, they fell so pat upon the lower points that the cast was five, six, and five.

These are, quoth Panurge, sixteen in all.

Let us take the sixteenth line of the page.

The number pleaseth me very well; I hope we shall have a prosperous and happy chance.
