A conjurer was travelling in a railway train. Into the carriage entered three of the "boys," and one of them promptly tried to annex some of the conjurer's spare cash by the agency of the pea-and-walnut-shell swindle, offering to bet a sovereign that he could not find the pea. The conjurer pretended to be reluctant to cover the wager, but eventually agreed, lifted .up one of the three shells, and there underneath was the pea. The "boys" looked at each other; the one who was working, the swindle in a deprecating way; the others mystified, and not a little disgusted. However, they made up their mind to have another' go for it, with tii© result that the conjurer again found the pea, and won another sovereign. Then the sharper said: "Here, guv'nor, give us a chance. I've had the pea in my hand all the time."
