one after one
I daresay he knows half a dozen languages in all . He gives me the impression of a man who would never be at a loss , in whatever circumstances he might find himself . A man capable of extricating himself from the most difficult situation ; and that with the greatest ease . A man who bides his time ; and improves the present by separating , one after one , his monied fellow-prisoners from their banknotes . He is , by all odds , the coolest player that I ever watched . Nothing worries him . If he loses two hundred francs tonight , I am sure he will win it and fifty in addition tomorrow .
