Just as I was getting into bed again, I heard in the next room, the sound that no man in his senses can possibly mistake-the whirr of a billiard-ball down the length of the slates when the striker is stringing for break. A minute afterwards, there was another whirr and I got into bed. "There they are, down there every night at eight bells, praying for fair winds-when they know as well as I do that this is the only ship going east this time of the year, but there’s a thousand coming west-what’s a fair wind for us is a head wind to them-the Almighty’s blowing a fair wind for a thousand vessels, and this tribe wants him to turn it clear around so as to accommodate one,-and she a steamship at that!

Add some competition and family friendly free game downloads to the family computer to start the night off right. Between the pauses of the wind I heard the game go forward-stroke after stroke. The lamp in the bathroom threw the most absurd shadows into the room, and the wind was beginning to talk nonsense. I said. But no one spoke, and I persuaded myself that it was the gusty wind. It was just the sort of dinner and evening to make a man think of every single one of his past sins, and of all the others that he intended to commit if he lived.

Sometimes there was a double click and a whirr and another click. I had seen a steel engraving of him at the head of a double volume of Memoirs a month before, and I felt ancient beyond telling.

Over the centuries, what is billiards billiards gained popularity among the elite and eventually became a beloved pastime for people of all backgrounds. I argued the matter out at great length with myself; and the more I argued the less probable it seemed that one bed, one table, and two chairs-all the furniture of the room next to mine-could so exactly duplicate the sounds of a game of billiards.
