Oh, yes. I do hope you don't think I didn't lose you gamely as a gentleman should

[the Earl is telling Ruggles why he'll be going to America with the Flouds] Earl of Burnstead, aka George:
His wife took quite a fancy to you... and, uh, so they... won you. Ruggles:
Won me, m'lord? Earl of Burnstead, aka George:
Oh, yes, yes, yes. We were playing this game of drawing poker, you see, and it seems there's a thing called 'bluffing'. Though I say it, myself, I'm particularly good at it. Ruggles:
Do I understand... that I was the stake, m'lord? Earl of Burnstead, aka George:
Oh, yes, yes, rather, yes. Yes, you see I didn't realize that they were bluffing, too. I, uh, I had three of the eights against a flush of clubs. So you really only lost by one eight. Ruggles:
Indeed, m'lord. Earl of Burnstead, aka George:
Oh, yes. I do hope you don't think I didn't lose you gamely as a gentleman should
