Mr. T. I ought to have trumped that, but I do hate to trump second hand.
Colonel G. But you played suit.
Mr. T. So I did. I forgot that.
Colonel G. (showing hand). The rest of the tricks are mine.
Miss V. Why, I have the king and queen of clubs, and you haven’t a club in your hand.
Colonel G. That is why the tricks are mine. I can keep the lead to the end. I am very sorry, Mrs. Vaughn; but I am suddenly attacked with a nervous headache, so that I cannot possibly go on playing. I shall have to ask to be excused.
Mrs. V. Oh, don’t break up the game when we are getting along so well.
Colonel G. I am very sorry; but I must go. I have enjoyed the game extremely.
Mr. T. Are you out?
Colonel G. Yes.
