"How do I know you plays fair ?" he complained.

"They'll be four of you to one of me; and I don't like it, and you can kiss the Book on that." "If you don't like it, leave it," said I, "and get out, and be damned to you." Finally he agreed; but he refused me a look at the chart, saying that he had left it in a safe place.

I believe in reality he wanted to be surer of me, and for that I can hardly blame him..
