Colonel Thorndyke’s Secret

CHAPTER XII
29/32

I saw enough tonight to feel absolutely certain that you have been cheated.

Sir James Flash stood behind you, and was, I am sure, signaling your hand to Emerson.

I believe that Emerson played fair otherwise, until the last game, but I am convinced that he then cheated.

You had good hands, but he had better; and although I did not see him cheat--for I was on the other side of the table--I am convinced that he did so.

Now, sir, I advise you to go in as usual tomorrow evening, and to play, raising your stakes as you did tonight.
