Miss V. Why, did I take the last trick? What shall I—oh, I know,—the ace of clubs.
Mrs. V. The two-spot of diamonds ought to be good for that.
Miss V. How horrid! Now the rest of my clubs aren’t any good. Well, any way, I can throw them away.
Mrs. V. Have hearts been led?
Mr. T. I’m sure I can’t remember.
Miss V. (examining tricks). Yes, here’s one heart trick.
Mrs. V. Well, I must lead it, and I’m sure I don’t remember about it at all. I’ll lead a small one. Was that right, Colonel Graham?
Colonel G. You might have led your knave.
Mrs. V. Why, how did you know I had the knave. I declare, it’s like witchcraft, the way you keep run of the cards. I suppose you know where every card is. Who took that?
Colonel G. I did.
