"Gentlemen, I tell you I cannot play; but there is one thing I can do."
"What is that?" they asked eagerly.
"I can tell fortunes."
"Capital! Will you tell ours?"
"If you wish it; but, I warn you it may not be very flattering."
"What card will you want?"
"The five of spades, please," and it was handed to him with expectation of great sport.
"I shall require one other thing, if you don't mind," he further said.
"What?" they asked a little impatiently.
"A Bible."
