"Why, to be sure. The fellow plays a square game."
"Why should he? You know, as well as I, that he is not square by nature."
"That's right; but his cards are cut every time, and he doesn't know enough to put 'em up."
"There are other ways of cheating besides putting the cards up."
"That's true, but I do not believe Gage is on that lay. He simply has beastly big luck."
"Perhaps."
"You do not think so?"
"I do not know. You will remember that Gage has no particular love for either of us, and we have both lost heavily."
"Do you mean to quit playing?"
"Possibly."
