Queen of Spades:

♠ ♠ She simply just gave him this look; it was a smile, certainly, but one that looked as if it was to say; ‘You’re hopeless’. But enough of that, her eyes now darted towards the maps with interest, a sense of humor escaping the mouth; “A gift? Why, it is not even a significant occasion. Just however do I thank you?”

With this she picked herself up from her seat and walked over to said table. ♠ ♠

     “You could let me out of today’s lesson. That would be a very big thank you,” he smirked. Truth be told he was exhausted already, and spending an hour staring at his Queen’s face, as pretty as it was, trying to read her thoughts did not sound appealing.
