I'd kept quiet about it while I'd been in Paris, and I didn't think anyone knew.
Sainte-Raphaë certainly didn't.
She hadn't taken her eyes off the Phoenix Fire since I'd put it on the table.
She snapped her fingers, and one of the waiters was instantly next to us.
Sainte-Raphaë ordered two more glasses of wine and some poker chips for her new friend.
Well, consider her wowed, I suppose.
No going back.
Now I just need to win.
So we started playing.
Not for the grand prize right away, of course.
We needed a bit of time to size each other up.
A few light skirmishes before the grand battle.
And she was good.
Cold, impassive, excellent at a bluff.
She didn't give anything away.
There were a few others, too.
The ragtime filled up as it got later and, as a rule, an open chair at a poker table's there to be filled.
People wafted in, then wafted out once they'd run out of money.
Pretty much the only person who didn't play was the blonde man in the suit.
He just sat at the bar, watching it all.
