hrough the Reserve, and the
Reserve must pass into the Ramparts before they can be played.

II. Cards in the Ramparts may be placed on each other either in the
usual ascending and descending sequences, or in the order in which
they will be played, viz., queen on two, knave on three, and so on, or
_vice versa_. They must be of the same suit; and sequences, both in
ascending and in descending lines, may be placed in the same packet.

Cards in the Ramparts may be transferred from one packet to another at
discretion (the top card of each being alone available), and they must
follow suit.

III. Cards in the Reserve may in the same way be placed on those in the
Ramparts, _but only on the cards at the ends or sides of the line_ from
which they are taken.

_Note._--In the tableau the four of clubs could only be placed on cards
at A, B, C, or D, and in this case only on D.

IV. Vacancies in the Ramparts are filled from the Reserve with any card
in the row at the end of which the vacancy occurs.

_Note._--In the tableau a vacancy at B or D could only be filled by the
four or ace of clubs, or by the seven or six of spades; and a vacancy
at A or C, by the ace of diamonds or by the three or four of clubs.

V. Vacancies in the Reserve are filled from the talon or, when there is
no talon, from the pack.

VI. The foundations must follow suit.

PLAY

Deal twelve cards in four rows of three cards each. Then deal an
_outside row_ of fourteen cards placed crossways. These are the
"Ramparts." The inside twelve cards are the "Reserve."

The foundation cards are four aces of different suits. On these are
placed kings, then deuces, queens, threes, and so on, each foundation
consisting of alternate sequences, ascending and descending, and
finishing as well as beginning with aces (Rule VI).

Having placed the tableau, take from the Ramparts aces or other suitable
cards (if any have been dealt), and play them in their allotted places,
_immediately filling each vacancy as it occurs_ (Rules IV and V); this
must be done throughout the game. Then transfer cards in the Ramparts,
and from the Reserve, as directed in Rules II and III.

When you have done all that you wished (for it is optional), and again
played if you can, deal out the remainder of the pack, the cards not
suitable for the foundations being placed in a talon.

At the end of the patience, when the talon is exhausted and all the
cards have been dealt, should th
