以下歐美電影榜英文介紹
might have gone out shooting, but nothing of the sort was allowed upon
the property in obedience to the wish of Miss Heda, a mysterious young
58
person who was always expected and never appeared, and beyond it I
was afraid to travel for fear of Basutos. I might have gone to Pilgrim's
Rest or Lydenburg to make report of the nefarious deeds of the said Basutos, but at best it would have taken one or two days, and possibly I
should have been detained by officials who never consider any one's
time except their own.
This meant that I should have been obliged to leave Anscombe alone,
which I did not wish to do, so I just sat still and, as I have said, was intensely bored, hanging about the place and smoking more than was
good for me.
In due course Anscombe emerged on to the stoep, where he lay with
his leg up, and was also bored, especially after he had tried to pump old
Marnham about his past in the Guards and completely failed. It was in
this mood of utter dejection that we agreed to play a game of cards one
evening. Not that either of us cared for cards; indeed, personally, I have
always detested them because, with various-coloured counters to represent money which never passed, they had formed one of the afflictions of
my youth.
It was so annoying if you won, to be handed a number of green counters and be informed that they represented so many hundreds or thousands of pounds, or vice-versa if you lost, for as it cost no one anything,
my dear father insisted upon playing for enormous stakes. Never in any
aspect of life have I cared for fooling. Anscombe also disliked cards, I
think because his ancestors too had played with counters, such as some
that I have seen belonging to the Cocoa-Tree Club and other gambling
places of a past generation, marked as high as a thousand guineas, which
counters must next morning be redeemed in hard cash, whereby his family had been not a little impoverished.
"I fancy you will find they are high-fliers," he said when the pair had
left to fetch a suitable table, for the night being very hot we were going to
play on the stoep by the light of the hanging paraffin lamp and some
candles. I replied to the effect that I could not afford to lose large sums of
money, especially to men who for aught I knew might then be engaged
in marking the cards.
"I understand," he answered. "Don't you bother about that, old fellow.
This is my affair, arranged for my special amusement. I shan't grumble if
the fun costs something, for I am sure there will be fun."
"All right," I said, "only if we should happen to win money, it's yours,
not mine."

To myself I reflected, however, that with these two opponents we had
about as much chance of winning as a snowflake has of resisting the atmosphere of the lower regions.
Presently they returned with the table, which had a green cloth over it
that hung down half-way to the ground. Also one of the native boys
brought a tray with spirits, from which I judged by various signs, old
Marnham, who had already drunk his share at dinner, had helped himself freely on the way. Soon we were arranged, Anscombe, who was to
be my partner, opposite to me in his long chair, and the game began.
I forget what particular variant of cards it was we played, though I
know it admitted of high and progressive stakes. At first, however, these
were quite moderate and we won, as I suppose we were meant to do.
After half an hour or so Marnham rose to help himself to brandy and
water, a great deal of brandy and very little water, while I took a nip of
Hollands, and Anscombe and Rodd filled their pipes.
"I think this is getting rather slow," said Rodd to Anscombe. "I vote we
put a bit more on."
"As much as you like," answered Anscombe with a little drawl and
twinkle of the eye, which always showed that he was amused. "Both
Quatermain and I are born gamblers. Don't look angry, Quatermain, you
know you are. Only if we lose you will have to take a cheque, for I have
precious little cash."
"I think that will be good enough," replied the doctor quietly—"if you
lose."
So the stakes were increased to an amount that made my hair stand up
stiffer even than usual, and the game went on. Behold! a marvel came to
pass. How it happened I do not know, unless Marnham had brought the
wrong cards by mistake or had grown too fuddled to understand his
partner's telegraphic signals, which I, being accustomed to observe, saw
him make, not once but often, still we won! What is more, with a few setbacks, we went on winning, till presently the sums written down to our
credit, for no actual cash passed, were considerable. And all the while, at
the end of each bout Marnham helped himself to more brandy, while the
doctor grew more mad in a suppressed-thunder kind of a way. For my
part I became alarmed, especially as I perceived that Anscombe was on
the verge of breaking into open merriment, and his legs being up I could
not kick him under the table.
"My partner ought to go to bed. Don't you think we should stop?" I
said.
