An Embarrassing Bet
Shy and timid Ludella is new in town and has been invited to a house party by her neighbour, completely unaware that it’s to be at her expense. With her meek voice, she thanks the neighbour for inviting her, but before she even gets to finish her soft-spoken sentence, he wanders off, leaving her on her own.
Feeling shy and alone, she sits by herself, working up the courage to make conversation with someone when she’s approached by a group of her neighbour’s friends. They ask who she is, and she stumbles saying her own name, which makes them laugh. Then they make fun of her for being so prim and proper in her wardrobe. “I didn’t know what the dress code was...” She says meekly, removing her blazer.
They ask what she does for a living, and she fumbles again by admitting that she has no job and mostly keeps busy cleaning the house when her boyfriend is away on business, which is a lot of time. This causes the crowd to laugh again and she feels so humiliated that she excuses herself to use the restroom.
A bit later, she’s placed herself in the corner of the room as if she wished she could disappear into the wall when she’s asked to join them for a card game. When asked if she knew of any, she tells them she played UNO in college, which makes them laugh again. They tell her they’re playing poker, and wanting to be a good sport, she agrees to try. Though when they ask her to shuffle the deck, she accidentally sends the cards flying into the air and then the floor.
“Oh my goodness! Let me get those for you!” She says, rushing to pick up her mess, but when she bends down to pick up the cards, the back of her skirt splits open, revealing her pantyhosed bottom. They all laugh of course and she’s even more humiliated, especially when they tell her to finish picking up the cards and she has to do it while trying to hide her torn skirt.
Later on and a few games in, Ludella is starting to come out of her shell. She can’t believe she keeps winning. They tell her she must be a natural. Little does she know that they’re hustling her on purpose – letting her win so they can set up their biggest prank of all: to get her to bet all her clothes.
She’s nervous of course, but they egg her on. She’s a natural! Of course she won’t lose... With this rush of confidence, she agrees so long as they all agree to the same bet. After the cards have been dealt, her smile quickly fades into a look of shock when she looks at her cards. She gasps and swallows hard. Surely the bet isn’t serious, right? But it is, and she’s to be held to it.
