 There was irritation in it.
 pose you want h nope in some quiet corner for your departed swain, eh? Is that it?a
 He considered that Camille had treated him very badly of late. He would hhmiliate her, if he could.
 Dolly rushed to his assistance in this laudable desire by adding. pertly
 "Or she wants to save her money for the rousseau, and not risk it o1 a game of cards:"
 Camine's lip cu1led. How very or dirary and how petty were these two.
 She read their feelings perfectly Dolly had not been "un success fou' with the man from Africa, and had been correspondingly annoyed. It was galling that she-Camille-had been the center of attraction there.
 And as for Reggie, that young man had been downright jealous. an1 hadn't got the sense to hide it.
 When dinner was over, however, it wasn't possible to slip away to the solitude she craved for.
 Because only four players could be raked up for game of poker, and 54 fifth was wanted.
 Come on, Camille! Don't be a spoilsp0rt!" Reggie urged.

 Not in the slightest" said that damsel, recklessly. Her mood had changed, and she felt actually glad of a diversion that might temporarily remove thoughts of Elliot Glyn from her mind-and heart.
 They started with a jackpot. Each put in two shillings. and five cards were dealth to each player.
 Dolly, on the dealers left said:
 'I can't open"
 Reggie said the same.
 It was Camille who opened for five shillings.
 The next player threw his hand down, while the others each put in five shillings, and the dealer gave out cards.
 Camille seemed lost in thought for moment. She wrinkled up her fore head. Then, pushing out solitary red chip. she smilingly announced:
 "The opener bids modest five"
 Her bet wasn't raised. And on the showdown" her three aces brought her the kitty" which amounted to two pounds.
 Thereafter the luck fluctuated. By half tan al l,a chips had dwindled to It's original size.
 Let's have our final round and get to bed" said Dolly. yawning. The game lacked excitement tonight.
 On the last jackpot" they had an mile, Reggie, the hostess and an- mile, Reddie. the hostess and an- other man were betting.
 Reggie. as opener, bet five shill- ings, while Camille. having straight, bet pound.
 Dolly and the other two dropped out, until it came to Reggie, who blithesomely announced

 Camille, somewhat piqued at his self-assurance, pushed in four.
 Reggie laughed delightedly.
