"Well, well! and did they ever come the thimblerig on you?"
"Yes, I had a taste of that also."

"Well, now, see here; I'll teach you the game, and you are the only one I ever will teach it to; you are honest. But if I were to teach the game to some fellows who claim to be honest they would start in as gamblers right away."
"I never will."
"No, I can see that in your eye; you've got an honest face; I like you clean through."
"Thank you again."
"Yes, and I am going to learn you a trick or two."
