PYRAMIDS OF SNOW.
BY
EDITH METCALFE.
"I can tell you without the help of an augur what will be your fate you become a gambler. Either the vice will end by swallowing you up alive as a quicksand does, or if you are a winner, your gains will disappear more quickly than they came, melting like pyramids of snow."
WILLIAM DE BRITAINE.
