133. The Game of Odd or Even. A company of four men
assembled round a table in the room of an estaminet; one of
them, having on a drab jacket and a white cap, stands at the
head of the table, holding out his clenched hand for his ad-
versary to guess its contents ; beyond this group are a woman
quitting the room, and two peasants standing at a fire. At
a little window above, is seen a woman watching the players.
The accessories consist of a drab hat hung on the back of a
chair, a jug, and a napkin on a stool; and a dog, and some
