 'Mes excuses察Monsieur Bond' added the chef de partie obsequiously。
 It was when Bond shovelled the great wad of notes out on to the table and the croupier busied himself with the task of counting the pinned sheaves of ten thousand franc notes察the largest denomination issued in France察that he caught a swift exchange of glances between Le Chiffre and the gunman standing directly behind Bond。
 Immediately he felt something hard press into the base of his spine察right into the cleft between his two buttocks on the padded chair。
 At the same time a thick voice speaking southern French said softly察urgently察just behind his right ear
 'This is a gun察monsieur。 It is absolutely silent。 It can blow the base of your spine off without a sound。 You will appear to have fainted。 I shall be gone。 Withdraw your bet before I count ten。 If you call for help I shall fire。'
 The voice was confident。 Bond believed it。 These people had shown they would unhesitatingly go the limit。 The thick walking´stick was explained。 Bond knew the type of gun。 The barrel a series of soft rubber baffles which absorbed the detonation察but allowed the passage of the bullet。 They had been invented and used in the war for assassinations Bond had tested them himself。
 'Un' said the voice。
 Bond turned his head。 There was the man察leaning forward close behind him察smiling broadly under his black moustache as if he was wishing Bond luck察pletely secure in the noise and the crowd。
 The discoloured teeth came together。 'Deux' said the grinning mouth。
 Bond looked across。 Le Chiffre was watching him。 His eyes glittered back at Bond。 His mouth was open and he was breathing fast。 He was waiting察waiting for Bond's hand to gesture to the croupier察or else for Bond suddenly to slump backwards in his chair察his face grimacing with a scream。
 'Trois。'
 Bond looked over at Vesper and Felix Leiter。 They were smiling and talking to each other。 The fools。 Where was Mathis拭Where were those famous men of his
 'Quatre。'
 And the other spectators。 This crowd of jabbering idiots。 Couldn't someone see what was happening拭The chef de partie察the croupier察the huissier
 'Cinq。'
 The croupier was tidying up the pile of notes。 The chef de partie bowed smilingly towards Bond。 Directly the stake was in order he would announce此'Le jeux est fait。' and the gun would fire whether the gunman had reached ten or not。
 'Six。'
 Bond decided。 It was a chance。 He carefully moved his hands to the edge of the table察gripped it察edged his buttocks right back察feeling the sharp gun´sight grind into his coccyx。
 'Sept。'
 The chef de partie turned to Le Chiffre with his eyebrows lifted察waiting for the banker's nod that he was ready to play。
 Suddenly Bond heaved backwards with all his strength。 His momentum tipped the cross´bar of the chair´back down so quickly that it cracked across the malacca tube and wrenched it from the gunman's hand before he could pull the trigger。
 Bond went head´over´heels on to the ground amongst the spectators' feet察his legs in the air。 The back of the chair splintered with a sharp crack。 There were cries of dismay。 The spectators cringed away and then察reassured察clustered back。 Hands helped him to his feet and brushed him down。 The huissier bustled up with the chef de partie。 At all costs a scandal must be avoided。
 Bond held on to the brass rail。 He looked confused and embarrassed。 He brushed his hands across his forehead。
 'A momentary faintness。' he said。 'It is nothing ´ the excitement察the heat。'
 There were expressions of sympathy。 Naturally察with this tremendous game。 Would Monsieur prefer to withdraw察to lie down察to go home拭Should a doctor be fetched
 Bond shook his head。 He was perfectly all right now。 His excuses to the table。 To the banker also。
 A new chair was brought and he sat down。 He looked across at Le Chiffre。 Through his relief at being alive察he felt a moment of triumph at what he saw ´ some fear in the fat察pale face。
 There was a buzz of speculation round the table。 Bond's neighbours on both sides of him bent forward and spoke solicitously about the heat and the lateness of the hour and the smoke and the lack of air。
 Bond replied politely。 He turned to examine the crowd behind him。 There was no trace of the gunman察but the huissier was looking for someone to claim the malacca stick。 It seemed undamaged。 But it no longer carried a rubber tip。 Bond beckoned to him。
 'If you will give it to that gentleman over there' he indicated Felix Leiter察'he will return it。 It belongs to an acquaintance of his。'
 The hussier bowed。
 Bond grimly reflected that a short examination would reveal to Leiter why he had made such an embarrassing public display of himself
 He turned back to the table and tapped the green cloth in front of him to show that he was ready。
 
 
 CHAPTER 13  ´ 'A WHISPER OF LOVE察A WHISPER OF HATE'
 'La partie continue' announced the chef impressively。 'Un banco de trente´deux millions。'
 The spectators craned forward。 Le Chiffre hit the shoe with a flat´handed slap that made it rattle。 As an afterthought he took out his benzedrine inhaler and sucked the vapour up his nose。
 'Filthy brute' said Mrs Du Pont on Bond's left。
 Bond's mind was clear again。 By a miracle he had survived a devastating wound。 He could feel his armpits still wet with the fear of it。 But the success of his gambit with the chair had wiped out all memories of the dreadful valley of defeat through which he had just passed。
 He had made a fool of himself。 The game had been interrupted for at least ten minutes察a delay unheard of in a respectable casino察but now the cards were waiting for him in the shoe。 They must not fail him。 He felt his heart lift at the prospect of what was to e。
 It was two o'clock in the morning。 Apart from the thick crowd round the big game察play was still going on at three of the chemin´de´fer games and at the same number of roulette tables。
 In the silence round his own table察Bond suddenly heard a distant croupier intone此'Neuf。 Le rouge gagne察impair et manque。'
 Was this an omen for him or for Le Chiffre
 The two cards slithered towards him across the green sea。
 Like an octopus under a rock察Le Chiffre watched him from the other side of the table。
 Bond reached out a steady right hand and drew the cards towards him。 Would it be the lift of the heart which a nine brings察or an eight brings
 He fanned the two cards under the curtain of his hand。 The muscles of his jaw rippled as he clenched his teeth。 His whole body stiffened in a reflex of self´defence。
 He had two queens察two red queens。
 They looked roguishly back at him from the shadows。 They were the worst。 They were nothing。 Zero。 Baccarat。
 ;A card察─said Bond fighting to keep hopelessness out of his voice。 He felt Le Chiffre's eyes boring into his brain。
 The banker slowly turned his own two cards face up。
 He had a count of three ´ a king and a black three。
 Bond softly exhaled a cloud of tobacco smoke。 He still had a chance。 Now he was really faced with the moment of truth。 Le Chiffre slapped the shoe察slipped out a card察Bond's fate察and slowly turned it face up。
 It was a nine察a wonderful nine of hearts察the card known in gipsy magic as 'a whisper of love察a whisper of hate'察the card that meant almost certain victory for Bond。
 The croupier slipped it delicately across。 To Le Chiffre it meant nothing。 Bond might have had a one察in which case he now had ten points察or nothing察or baccarat察as it is called。 Or he might have had a two察three察four察or even five。 In which case察with the nine察his maximum count would be four。
 Holding a three and giving nine is one of the moot situations at the game。 The odds are so nearly divided between to draw or not to draw。 Bond let the banker sweat it out。 Since his nine could only be equalled by the banker drawing a six察he would normally have shown his count if it had been a friendly game。
 Bond's cards lay on the table before him察the two impersonal pale pink´patterned backs and the faced nine of hearts。 To Le Chiffre the nine might be telling the truth or many variations of lies。
 The whole secret lay in the reverse of the two
