THE GAME OF THE LITTLE HORSES.

(_A SKETCH AT THE CASINO, DINARD._)

_On either side of the circular Race-course, with its
revolving metal horses, is a Green Table, divided into
numbered squares, around which the Players, who are mostly
English, are sitting or standing. A Croupier with his rake
presides at each table. In an obscure corner of the balcony
outside, Miss DAINTREE and her Married Sister have just
established themselves. There is a Ball at the Casino, and the
Orchestra are heard tuning up for the next dance._

_The Married Sister_. But SYLVIA, why have you dragged me out here to
sit in the dark? I thought you were engaged for this?

_Miss Daintree_. So I am--to such a horrid little man. That's why I
fled. He won't think of coming _here_ after me!
