-I have known the deeds of His Highness always asked the colonel … A hero!

Lubimoff not have time to repel these accolades. Spadina turns to something more interesting. The war heroes … nebulous and meaningless things. He is about reality, and begins to talk about a new character he admired, a Portuguese who play hard, and whose name, for some days, seems to fill the rooms, because of their earnings.

-I observed, also a friend of mine and I have his secret. Imagine, the prince …

The prince is concerned, guessing that is going to describe in full details the combination of the Portuguese, who already considers his. But the pianist looks at the Casino, babbles, and ends up interrupting his story. Someone is coming, and he just wants to share in his secret to the prince. Takes leave of him, promising to reveal the beautiful combination on a couch in the private rooms, when you enter the Casino.

Think there Lubimoff in recent months, on his adventures as a soldier, in his wound, in everything that has happened to him and the whole world while the musician lingered in Monte-Carlo without admitting another reality that the fluttering of Chimera.
