At
this
moment
,
the
hands
of
the
club
clock
pointed
to
twenty
minutes
to
nine
.
"
Five
minutes
more
,
"
said
Andrew
Stuart
.
The
five
gentlemen
looked
at
each
other
.
Their
anxiety
was
becoming
intense
;
but
,
not
wishing
to
betray
it
,
they
readily
assented
to
Mr.
Fallentin
's
proposal
of
a
rubber
.
"
I
would
n't
give
up
my
four
thousand
of
the
bet
,
"
said
Andrew
Stuart
,
as
he
took
his
seat
,
"
for
three
thousand
nine
hundred
and
ninety-nine
.
"
The
clock
indicated
eighteen
minutes
to
nine
.
The
players
took
up
their
cards
,
but
could
not
keep
their
eyes
off
the
clock
.
Certainly
,
however
secure
they
felt
,
minutes
had
never
seemed
so
long
to
them
!
"
Seventeen
minutes
to
nine
,
"
said
Thomas
Flanagan
,
as
he
cut
the
cards
which
Ralph
handed
to
him
.
Then
there
was
a
moment
of
silence
.
The
great
saloon
was
perfectly
quiet
;
but
the
murmurs
of
the
crowd
outside
were
heard
,
with
now
and
then
a
shrill
cry
.
The
pendulum
beat
the
seconds
,
which
each
player
eagerly
counted
,
as
he
listened
,
with
mathematical
regularity
.
"
Sixteen
minutes
to
nine
!
"
said
John
Sullivan
,
in
a
voice
which
betrayed
his
emotion
.
One
minute
more
,
and
the
wager
would
be
won
.
Andrew
Stuart
and
his
partners
suspended
their
game
.
They
left
their
cards
,
and
counted
the
seconds
.
