65.Where did Bill take his companions in Port Said?
By the time they had paid off the half-wit and paid for their cabins they hadn't much ready money left, but Bill said he knew how to get some. Bill had gone pretty slow on drinks since he got the pearls, but gambling was a thing he would never give up. Bill told him that they now could affort to play gamble. That's why Jorkens, Bill with his campanions went a ashore at Port Said and took their pearls with them. After that all of them came to a house Bill knew.
66.Why did Jorkens join them?
Jorkenswasn't keen on the gambling itself, but is seemed only friendly to keep an eye on the other two his companions so he slipped a revolver into his pocket and came with them. Anyway they came to the house; and Bill and Jorkens and the Portugee went in; soon they were playing and winning.
67.Why did the downstairs room remind Jorkens of "a trail of grain over grass leading up to a trap"?
Well, in order to highlight some possible answers to this given question. I want to switch your attention or fact that Jorkens with his followers anyway came to the house that Bill knew and they were playing and winning. The stakes aren't high down stairs and usually anybody may win there. In fact that downstairs room remainded to Jorkens of a trail of grain over grass leading up to trap. Upstairs the stokes were much higher and upstairs they asked to go. A Greek ran the show downstairs the sort of Greek anybody might meet at night in the shadier parts of Port Said.
68.Why did Jorkens lose his temper and what blunder did he make?
Well, to reply to this question, I want to emphisize the following fact that the man upstairs was a Greek too like a man on downstairs but he wasn't the kind of person that you would expect to meet; he seemed worse than Jorkens had been warned against. As they walked in that person looked at them, each in turn and, somebody that his eyes seemed to light up,and the blood seemed to pale in his face,and the man's power and energy went to those eyes, but the way he was speaking to them irritated Jorkens and his companions. But the biggest blunder that was made by him was that he slipped a hand into his pocket and brought out a handful of pearls shaving it to everyone
69.What was the next thing Jorkens remembered?
There were no pearls, no room, and nobody were speaking. Just silence and open air. And then the voice of man coming up out of depths of silence saying the same thing over again, but with words that didn't as yet bring any meaning. A long time passed like that. Then the words again and this time they seemed to mean something, if only one steadied oneself and tried to think. Somebody exclaimed that Jorkenswas tainted in the street. Yes he was in a street right enough. There was lump on his forehead the size of two eggs and the taste of chloroform on his mouth.
