    There was a house & every night there was cardplaying in it. This man used to go every night & they played for money.
    There would be arguing & bad talk going on.
    This man had to walk a mile & a half home by a short cut through the "Bull track. This night a man was sitting on a stone waiting for him. They started to talk & the stranger took out a deck of cards & they started to play.
