Rivers. Drive on! Sixes.

Smith. Fire away, brave boys! (To Moore) It’s Tally-ho-the-Grinder, Hump!

Brodie. Treys! Death and the pit! How much have you got there?

Smith. Stand by, Badger!

Rivers. Cinq-ace.

Brodie. My turn now. (He juggles in and uses the second pair of dice.) Aces! Aces again! What’s this? (Picking up dice.) Sold! . . . You play false, you hound!

Rivers. You lie!
