I loved to play a card game called piquet, and I was quite good if
I do say so myself.




Artifact #10


           "Two black aces! Here, take your money, though
     wish instead I could give you two back eyes,
you old white cat!"

One day a white haired old woman beat me at cards!
I thought she deserved two black eyes that cheating old cat...
