Page 20 of The Gambler

is something in the feeling that, though one is alone, and in a

  foreign land, and far from one's own home and friends, and

  ignorant of whence one's next meal is to come, one is

  nevertheless staking one's very last coin! Well, I won the

  stake, and in twenty minutes had left the Casino with a hundred

  and seventy gulden in my pocket! That is a fact, and it shows

  what a last remaining gulden can do. . . . But what if my heart

  had failed me, or I had shrunk from making up my mind? . . .

  No: tomorrow all shall be ended!
