A
woman
with
light
hair
,
in
a
low
dress
by
no
means
so
fresh
as
it
had
been
,
and
with
a
black
mask
on
,
through
the
eyelets
of
which
her
eyes
twinkled
strangely
,
was
seated
at
one
of
the
roulette-tables
with
a
card
and
a
pin
and
a
couple
of
florins
before
her
.
As
the
croupier
called
out
the
colour
and
number
,
she
pricked
on
the
card
with
great
care
and
regularity
,
and
only
ventured
her
money
on
the
colours
after
the
red
or
black
had
come
up
a
certain
number
of
times
.
It
was
strange
to
look
at
her
.
But
in
spite
of
her
care
and
assiduity
she
guessed
wrong
and
the
last
two
florins
followed
each
other
under
the
croupier
's
rake
,
as
he
cried
out
with
his
inexorable
voice
the
winning
colour
and
number
.
She
gave
a
sigh
,
a
shrug
with
her
shoulders
,
which
were
already
too
much
out
of
her
gown
,
and
dashing
the
pin
through
the
card
on
to
the
table
,
sat
thrumming
it
for
a
while
.
Then
she
looked
round
her
and
saw
Georgy
's
honest
face
staring
at
the
scene
.
The
little
scamp
!
What
business
had
he
to
be
there
?
When
she
saw
the
boy
,
at
whose
face
she
looked
hard
through
her
shining
eyes
and
mask
,
she
said
,
"
Monsieur
n'est
pas
joueur
?
"
"
Non
,
Madame
,
"
said
the
boy
;
but
she
must
have
known
,
from
his
accent
,
of
what
country
he
was
,
for
she
answered
him
with
a
slight
foreign
tone
.
"
You
have
nevare
played
--
will
you
do
me
a
littl
'
favor
?
"
"
What
is
it
?
"
said
Georgy
,
blushing
again
.
Mr.
Kirsch
was
at
work
for
his
part
at
the
rouge
et
noir
and
did
not
see
his
young
master
.
"
Play
this
for
me
,
if
you
please
;
put
it
on
any
number
,
any
number
.
"
And
she
took
from
her
bosom
a
purse
,
and
out
of
it
a
gold
piece
,
the
only
coin
there
,
and
she
put
it
into
George
's
hand
.
The
boy
laughed
and
did
as
he
was
bid
.
The
number
came
up
sure
enough
.
There
is
a
power
that
arranges
that
,
they
say
,
for
beginners
.
"
Thank
you
,
"
said
she
,
pulling
the
money
towards
her
,
"
thank
you
.
What
is
your
name
?
"
"
My
name
's
Osborne
,
"
said
Georgy
,
and
was
fingering
in
his
own
pockets
for
dollars
,
and
just
about
to
make
a
trial
,
when
the
Major
,
in
his
uniform
,
and
Jos
,
en
Marquis
,
from
the
Court
ball
,
made
their
appearance
.
Other
people
,
finding
the
entertainment
stupid
and
preferring
the
fun
at
the
Stadthaus
,
had
quitted
the
Palace
ball
earlier
;
but
it
is
probable
the
Major
and
Jos
had
gone
home
and
found
the
boy
's
absence
,
for
the
former
instantly
went
up
to
him
and
,
taking
him
by
the
shoulder
,
pulled
him
briskly
back
from
the
place
of
temptation
.
Then
,
looking
round
the
room
,
he
saw
Kirsch
employed
as
we
have
said
,
and
going
up
to
him
,
asked
how
he
dared
to
bring
Mr.
George
to
such
a
place
.
"
Laissez-moi
tranquille
,
"
said
Mr.
Kirsch
,
very
much
excited
by
play
and
wine
.
"
ll
faut
s
'
amuser
,
parbleu
.
Je
ne
suis
pas
au
service
de
Monsieur
.
"
