He had never played a crooked game, yet was cruelly branded with that horrible tattoo, and on his clean hand appeared, in blue and red ink, the Queen of Spades, so that no man would ever play a game with him. But "Nobody" was innocent; he had never played a crooked game nor touched a penny that did not belong to him. It was all done for the sake of a woman that he in silence adored. He drifted away from the country, but before long the fever of the green cloth lured him back to the gaming tables, and the cursed queen on his hand broke up the game. The one for whom "Nobody" was cursed with this stigma was long dead. "Nobody," believing that the dead would cleanse his hand, goes to the grave. He rubs his hand with the cold soil until exhausted, he falls asleep. Covered with a mantle of snow, he sinks into a more beautiful sleep. The woman, now awake, sees that "Nobody's" hand is clean again; the frost had chilled his heart, but the dead had cleansed his hand. "Nobody" played no more.
