The colonel invited
me to play a game of cards with him. I replied: “I never play games of any
kind." He sneeringly replied: "Virtuous young man you are."
Lieut. Randolph asked: "Does thee think there is any harm in it?" I
said: "Every man can do as they please. I would not play a game for a
farm."
