"Oh, please go away and let us
play again." and similar pleas were
made by a score of women who
formed a semi-circle around the two
detectives. We don't play poker; just
euchre and bridge whist for china"
But Hulse was obdurate. Finally
the women got their heads together
and decided to play anyhow. And they
did.
The detectives were given a lot of
jibes. "You fellows would soon go
out and lose yourselves If we hand
ed over five spots" all of which they
took good-naturedly. At No. 54i1
