`` Ca n't we start in now that Van has come ? '' They played euchre for a while , but Geary did not like the game , and by and by suggested poker . `` Well -- if it 's only just for love , '' said Turner , `` because , you know , mamma does n't like it any other way . '' At ten o'clock Geary said , `` Let 's quit after this hand round -- what do you say ? '' The rest were willing and so they all took account of their chips after the next deal . Geary was protesting against his poor luck . Honestly he had n't held better than three tens more than twice during the evening .
