After Shari's needling, I didn't take very kindly to his popping off with the Law of the Pack. It's understood wherever people gamble that psis aren't welcome. Nick didn't like it any better than I did. AFTER SHERRY'S NEEDLING I DIDN'T TAKE VERY KINDLY TO HIS POPPING OFF WITH THE LAW OF THE PACK IT'S UNDERSTOOD WHEREVER PEOPLE GAMBLE THAT SIGHS AREN'T WELCOME NICK DIDN'T LIKE IT ANY BETTER THAN I DID
l, with my background in psi, do you think I could be misled about it?" I shrugged, trying to cool down. Shari's doctorate had been earned with a startling thesis on psi phenomena and psi personalities, and she had stayed on at Columbia as a research fellow in the field. In egghead circles, she rated as a psi expert, all right. "Guess not," I said, trying to kill the subject. She wasn't going to let it die. "I don't think you're a psi, Tex. You're a Normal!" The way she said it, it didn't sound like a compliment. "Worse than that," she insisted. "You're beginning to act like a compulsive gambler." She took a deep breath, and let me have the clincher: "I could never marry a gambler, Tex!" "You've never been asked," I reminded her. She had the last word. "Let's go!" she snapped. * * * * * Angry as I was about her acting as though I were a snake, I wished I could have thrown her certification that I was a Normal in the freckled face of the sharp-chinned gambler at Nick's later that night.  SECTION TWO OF CARD TRICK BY JOHN BERRYMAN THIS LIEBER OF OX RECORDING IS IN THE PUBLIC DOMAIN ANGRY AS I WAS ABOUT HER ACTING AS THOUGH I WERE A SNAKE I WISHED I COULD HAVE THROWN HER CERTIFICATION THAT I WAS A NORMAL IN THE FRECKLED FACE OF THE SHARP CHINNED GAMBLER AT NIX LATER THAT NIGHT
