Recollections of a scorer - Leo Tolstoy

\"Everybody knows it\'s our business to score. You don\'t get a chance to get a bite of any thing, and you don\'t get to bed till two o\'clock o\' nights, but you\'re always being screamed at to bring the balls.\"One day while a scorer is keeping tally in a billiard room, a well-dressed stranger comes through the door. Soon, the scorer finds in him a willing apponent. But the more the scorer wins, the more he wish they\'d never started playing.
