Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-25-09  whiteshark: She pushed herself off the rail without resentment and turned to face the plump chess champion and petty financier who, as well she knew, coveted vaguely her favors. He exulted.

“The beautiful girl” he said “will come to our table? She will join us at our table?” He was fat and fascinating like a satrap. He had the women he wanted, and he wondered did he want this one. So he had not had her yet.

“Who’s with you?” she asked, warding him off. He named three bucks or toffs, notorious gigerls, and pointed them out.

“Sorry” she said “I’m with Bel.”

Now he had beaten Belacqua at chess, he had brought him home incapable from the old town, so he knew him. He found him naif and a dull vain dog and a patent babylan. He was a shrewd man.

-- from <Dream of Fair to Middling Women>, Samuel Beckett’s first novel written in 1932.
