your bluff is called, etc,
reading Jeffrey Archer's "The Prodigal Daughter", a dialogue as follows:
---------- "Luigi is a dear friend of mine"Florentyna said,
---------- "Your bluff is called, signora", Ferranti picked up the phone and dialled a 213 number. "Luigi? I have an American lady with me called Mrs.Kane who claims she is a friend of yours" He listened for a few moments, "Luigi says he doesn't know anyone called Mrs Kane and perhaps you would feel more at home on Alcatraz?"
--------- "No, I wouldn't, but tell him he thinks my father built it"
--------- Gerranti repeated her sentiments over the phone, and fianlly looked back at her."Luigi says to offer you a cup of tea. But only if you've brought your own pot."
questions:
1. your bluff is called
2. I know Alcatrazbut is a prison, but what does "tell him he thinks my father built it" mean here?
3. Luigi says to offer you a cup of tea. But only if you've brought your own pot.
thank you for your help and your time
