I have heard more good things said, than I shall ever hear of being done, by the party. Some of M n H ke's stories are excellent. I recollect his mentioning two striking in- stances of hostile fortune, which both occurred at the Roulette table. The first was of a person who had lost (to liim) a ruinous sum at Rouge et Noir, in the course of a night's play at Frascati; a handful of gold still remained, with which he rushed into the Roulette room (the ball at the instant spinning in the circle), ...and had reached out his hand to place Lis stake on Numero 23, when his foot coming in contact with a chair, he and his gold came to the ground together, just as the ball settled on the number he had selected. But for this contre-temps, he had won thirty-six times the amount of his stake. The other was told as follows. A young man was pursuing a high and unsuccessful game at Roulette, whilst a friend who stood beside him, looking on, earnestly expostu- lated with him on his infatuated rashness. This well- intended, but not well-executed interference, served only to irritate the player, and render him more headstrong.
