forty-eight cards keep you chained to your room, and you feel almost happy when a ten happens to fall into place or when a king is unable to thwart you, and you feel almost unhappy when all your patient calculations lead to the impossible outcome.
48 naipes encadéante ao teu cuarto e sénteste feliz de que un 10 estea no seu sitio, de que un rei non poida erguerse contra ti, ou infeliz de que os teus pacientes cálculos conduzan ao mesmo resultado imposible.
