![]() | Description about match progress |
---|---|
420 | The Topsy King bangs his fist on the table and chews his moustache with relish. Evidently, he is raring to go. |
430 | Tristram holds his cards close – he nibbles absently on their tops while thinking. "Flimsy," he murmurs, drumming his fingers against the table. He furnishes you with another wink. "Flimsy goodyou." |
440 | Tristram taps his nose and growls. "Call your father," he says, "A goat's a goat, I know it." He's getting restless. He glares at one of the cards. "Bats," he curses. |
