Safiya was trained to shuffle, deal, rake and monitor the integrity of cards without favouring players. She learned arithmetic working the accounts side of a gaming hall and now receives a fixed wage plus tips. She refuses to touch the stakes after a hand closes and watches for marked decks more closely than for wealthy tempers.
Safiya is imperturbable, alert, graceful and impatient with bullying gamblers. A house manager instructs her to introduce a prepared deck at a nobleman’s table, threatening her job if she objects.
Safiya can identify the player who slipped in a false deck. Viola Fenn may help her expose the house without making either woman a scapegoat.
