"Well, that is true, come to think of it. But he got it there, somehow."
Roche took the card and looked it over.
Then he picked up the pack and compared the backs of the cards with the one he held in his hand.
"I lose the hundred, that's all," he exclaimed. "But I'll bet another hundred he can't work that trick again!"
Hop smiled.
"You allee samee watchee too muchee," he said.
"You bet I would watch."
The cards were laid on the table by him, and Hop picked them up in an offhanded way.
"Here um nicee lillee tlick," he said, as he ran the cards up his arm in a long string. "Evelybody no do lat, so be."
Then he let them go back again, and in doing so two or three of them dropped to the floor.
