The Gamester
Susanna Centlivre
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Young Valere, in love with Angelica, has been amusing himself at the gaming tables, and not surprisingly getting himself in both financial trouble as well as the bad graces of his father, Sir Thomas. Whatever is Valere going to do? Obviously - game even more, which pits him against even more sharpers and other gamers and uncooperative dice.
