inning with the letter _g_, and ending with
_f_. In this manner the order of the packets is reversed.
Then, without shuffling, deal out all the cards as before, beginning at
_a_, and finishing at _m_, observing the same rules as in the first
deal. If during this second deal a card turns up suitable alike for an
ascending or descending foundation, you can place it on either, and you
may change it from one to the other. If you prefer it, you may even lay
the card aside for the moment, playing it on whichever foundation
appears the most suitable as the game progresses.
There may be three re-deals.

Two Entire Packs of Cards
RULES
I. The foundations follow suit.
II. Cards dealt on to the promenade need not follow suit, and are not
necessarily placed in sequence.
III. Only the uppermost card of each packet of the promenade is
available until its removal releases the card beneath.
IV. Cards may be played as they turn up in the deal, but a card once
placed on the promenade cannot be played until each deal of twenty
cards is complete.
PLAY
Deal out two horizontal rows, each consisting of ten cards (or you may,
if you prefer it, place four rows of five cards): this is called the
promenade.
The foundations will consist of four aces and four kings of different
suits, the aces ascending in sequence to kings, the kings descending to
aces (Rule I). During the deal, if any foundations appear, place them
at once in their allotted spaces, and also play any other suitable
cards as they turn up, refilling vacancies from the pack. When the
first deal of twenty cards is complete, examine the promenade and play
from it all suitable cards.
When no more can be played, deal out a second row of twenty cards,
always, however, playing suitable ones as they turn up in the deal.
This second row of twenty cards must be placed on the top of (_i.e._,
covering) the first row, but in any manner and on any cards of the
promenade you please. You have the option of heaping several cards on
to one packet, or of merely placing a second row on the top of the
first; but you must carefully count the cards as you place them, as
each deal of twenty cards must be complete before any can be
played--(the cards that have been played _during the deal_ do not count
among the twenty). Continue to deal out in like manner successive
rounds of twenty cards, observing the same rules, until the pack
