It
was
a
serene
summer
night
;
the
harbour
lay
like
a
darkened
mirror
at
their
feet
.
They
proceeded
towards
it
with
linked
arms
,
singing
Cadet
Roussel
in
chorus
,
stamping
their
feet
at
every
:
"
Ho
!
Ho
!
Hohe
,
vraiment
!
"
They
got
into
a
rowboat
at
the
slip
and
made
out
for
the
American
's
yacht
.
There
was
to
be
supper
,
music
,
cards
.
Villona
said
with
conviction
:
"
It
is
delightful
!
"
There
was
a
yacht
piano
in
the
cabin
.
Villona
played
a
waltz
for
Farley
and
Riviere
,
Farley
acting
as
cavalier
and
Riviere
as
lady
.
Then
an
impromptu
square
dance
,
the
men
devising
original
figures
.
What
merriment
!
Jimmy
took
his
part
with
a
will
;
this
was
seeing
life
,
at
least
.
Then
Farley
got
out
of
breath
and
cried
"
Stop
!
"
A
man
brought
in
a
light
supper
,
and
the
young
men
sat
down
to
it
for
form
's
sake
.
They
drank
,
however
:
it
was
Bohemian
.
They
drank
Ireland
,
England
,
France
,
Hungary
,
the
United
States
of
America
.
Jimmy
made
a
speech
,
a
long
speech
,
Villona
saying
:
"
Hear
!
hear
!
"
whenever
there
was
a
pause
.
There
was
a
great
clapping
of
hands
when
he
sat
down
.
It
must
have
been
a
good
speech
.
Farley
clapped
him
on
the
back
and
laughed
loudly
.
What
jovial
fellows
!
What
good
company
they
were
!
Cards
!
cards
!
The
table
was
cleared
.
Villona
returned
quietly
to
his
piano
and
played
voluntaries
for
them
.
The
other
men
played
game
after
game
,
flinging
themselves
boldly
into
the
adventure
.
They
drank
the
health
of
the
Queen
of
Hearts
and
of
the
Queen
of
Diamonds
.
Jimmy
felt
obscurely
the
lack
of
an
audience
:
the
wit
was
flashing
.
Play
ran
very
high
and
paper
began
to
pass
.
Jimmy
did
not
know
exactly
who
was
winning
but
he
knew
that
he
was
losing
.
But
it
was
his
own
fault
for
he
frequently
mistook
his
cards
and
the
other
men
had
to
calculate
his
I.O.U.
'
s
for
him
.
They
were
devils
of
fellows
but
he
wished
they
would
stop
:
it
was
getting
late
.
Someone
gave
the
toast
of
the
yacht
The
Belle
of
Newport
and
then
someone
proposed
one
great
game
for
a
finish
.
The
piano
had
stopped
;
Villona
must
have
gone
up
on
deck
.
It
was
a
terrible
game
.
They
stopped
just
before
the
end
of
it
to
drink
for
luck
.
Jimmy
understood
that
the
game
lay
between
Routh
and
Segouin
What
excitement
!
Jimmy
was
excited
too
;
he
would
lose
,
of
course
.
How
much
had
he
written
away
?
The
men
rose
to
their
feet
to
play
the
last
tricks
.
talking
and
gesticulating
.
Routh
won
.
The
cabin
shook
with
the
young
men
's
cheering
and
the
cards
were
bundled
together
.
They
began
then
to
gather
in
what
they
had
won
.
Farley
and
Jimmy
were
the
heaviest
losers
.
He
knew
that
he
would
regret
in
the
morning
but
at
present
he
was
glad
of
the
rest
,
glad
of
the
dark
stupor
that
would
cover
up
his
folly
.
He
leaned
his
elbows
on
the
table
and
rested
his
head
between
his
hands
,
counting
the
beats
of
his
temples
.
The
cabin
door
opened
and
he
saw
the
Hungarian
standing
in
a
shaft
of
grey
light
:
