OCR: away. The card player tried to persuade the Angel to play, but, being an Angel, he could not be tempted. So the trickster had to resign himself at last to dying. As soon as he had died, however. he began to play cards with Lucifer and won all his devils from him. The card player ordered all of his new servants to climb one on top of the other, and on this novel stairway he clambered up to paradise. For a while, St Peter let the card player be; then, finally, when he won the haloes from a couple of saints, he threw him down. On landing, his soul flew into pieces and each tiny bit landed in the soul of another card player, taking him over for ever.
