TO BE TAKEN WITH SALT
"That was a remarkable hand you held just now," said the commercial traveller to his companion at card's. "Pretty fair, pretty fair. But I've held a more wonderful hand than that." "Really ?" "Yes. Once I was playing whiat and dealt myself a hand of thirteen trumps." "Great Scott !" "And the funniest part of the matter is that I only took one trick." "Impossible I" "'No, it's not. I played last and trumped my partner's ace. He was a hasty man, and before I could explain matters he lost his temper, and kicked me out of the window ! Funny game whist, isn't it ? My deal, I think."
