CHAPTER
XII. page 40
A Mr D--, a gentleman of considerable landed property in the
North, proposed passing a few days at Scarborough. Dick England
saw his carriage enter the town, and contrived to get into his
company and go with him to the rooms. When the assembly was
over, he prevailed on Mr D-- to sup with him. After supper Mr
D-- was completely intoxicated, and every effort to make him play
was tried in vain.
This was, of course, very provoking; but still something must be
done, and a very clever scheme they hit upon to try and `do' this
`young man from the country.' Dick England and two of his
associates played for five minutes, and then each of them marked
a card as follows:--`D-- owes me one hundred guineas,' `D-- owes
me eighty guineas;' but Dick marked _HIS_ card--`I owe D--
thirty guineas.'
