Chapter 41

In the back room a card game is going on. There is a bald black man and a busty lady at the table. And at the head of the table is a severed hand in a kind of glass case. The hand taps against the glass in Morse Code to communicate. The hand taps against the glass and tells the black man to leave so Hugo can take his place at the game. We learn about the black man who is called THE BORING KID. BLUE EYE (the man with the sapphire in his eye) also sits at the table. MALQUIADES is the busty woman. Hugo calls himself ICEWATER HULL (I think Hull is his real last name). The slow talking woman turns on a machine so when the hand taps Morse Code what he's saying is typed out on a machine (for people who do not know Morse Code I guess??) The hand is called SON HILLERS. He greets Hugo and says they're going to play a card game called CARRICK.
