The next time we saw the Bushes was at Chequers a month or so later.

Six regular poachers come daily to The Chequers, but there are many others hanging around who are merely amateurs.

I went very warily down the alley, and found that Mr. Benjo had assuredly left an awkward trap for the people from The Chequers.

Then the carpet being spread, they brought plenty of cards, many dice, with great store and abundance of chequers and chessboards.

This is called go-no-me-namako, because of its resemblance to the disposition of chequers in the Japanese game of go.

Often it was seat, coffer, and table in one, with chequers inlaid on the top for chess.
