They people the debtors' prisons--they drink and swagger--they fight and brawl--they run away without paying--they have duels with French and German officers--they cheat Mr. Spooney at ecarte--they get the money and drive off to Baden in magnificent britzkas--they try their infallible martingale and lurk about the tables with empty pockets, shabby bullies, penniless bucks, until they can swindle a Jew banker with a sham bill of exchange, or find another Mr. Spooney to rob. 
They drink and swagger - they fight and brawl - they run away without paying - they get the money and drive off to Baden - they lurk about the tables with empty pockets, until they can swindle a Jew banker with a sham bill of exchange.
