Lovely developments, the minor villains and villainesses getting their comeuppance - now we can look forward to Mattlebere making a final push at revenge and assault on Mary, I guess.
This story is very instructive on dissipation: card and dice games and cheating methods :-) I finally understand both dice and Faro. I appreciate the mathematical skill and memory needed to have an edge, but it was still rather risky.
I definitely like Arthur more and more!
