"We had better cut now," said Frank.
"Not yet."
"Yes, Cis; come while you've got the money. Don't tempt your luck too far."
"I must—I will play another coup. I'll try the red once more."
"Don't: be advised, Cis, don't."
"I must."
"Well, then, wait till the next. Let this deal go by, and try the next."
Cecil did so.
"Black wins," said the dealer.
Frank looked at Cecil as much as to say, "you see I was right."
