I am ready. It was you who — TWO MEN OF SANDY BAR 359 Oakhurst. It was I who first demanded secrecy, but it was I who told you when we last met that I would tell you why to-night.
Jovita. I am ready ; but hear me, Juan, nothing can change my faith in you !
Oakhurst \sadly~\. You know not what you say. Lis- ten, my child. I am a gambler. Not the man who lav- ishes his fortune at the gaming-table for excitement's sake ; not the fanatic who stakes his own earnings — perhaps the the confided earnin...gs of others — on a single coup. No, he is the man who loses, — whom the world deplores, pities, and forgives. I am the man who wins — whom the world hates and despises.
Jovita. I do not understand you, Juan.
Oakhurst. So much the better, perhaps. But you must hear me. I make a profession — an occupation more exacting, more wearying, more laborious, than that of your meanest herdsmen — of that which others make a dissipa- tion of the senses. And yet, Jovita, there is not the mean- est vaquero in this ranch, who, playing against me, winning or losing, is not held to be my superior.
