atter case, a new deal is optional,
provided it be done before a card has been played, but not after, to
draw from the opposing hand the extra card.
ii. No person can beg more than once in each hand, except by mutual
agreement.
iii. Each player must trump or follow suit on penalty of the
adversary scoring one point.
iv. If either player score wrongly it must be taken down, and the
adversary either scores four points or one, as may have previously
been agreed.
v. When a trump is played, it is allowable to ask your adversary if
it be either high or low.
vi. One card may count all-fours; for example, the eldest hand holds
the knave and stands his game, the dealer has neither trump, ten,
ace, nor court-card; it will follow that the knave will be both
high, low, Jack, and game, as explained by--
93. Terms used in All-Fours.
i. _High_.--For the highest trump out, the holder scores one point.
ii. _Low_.--For the lowest trump out, the original holder scores one
point, even if it be taken by the adversary.
iii. _Jack_.--For the knave of trumps the holder scores one. If it
be won by the adversary, the winner scores the point.
iv. _Game_.--The greatest number that, in the tricks gained, are
shown by either player, reckoning:
_Four_ for an ace.
_Three_ for a king.
_Two_ for a queen.
_One_ for a knave.
_Ten_ for a ten.
The other cards do not count: thus it may happen that a deal may
be played without having any to reckon for game.
v. _Begging_ is when the eldest hand, disliking his cards, uses his
privilege, and says, "_I beg_;" in which case the dealer either
suffers his adversary to score one point, saying, "_Take one_," or
gives each player three cards more from the pack, and then turns up
the next card, the seventh for trumps. If, however, the trump turned
up to be of the same suit as the first, the dealer must go on,
giving each three cards more, and turning up the seventh, until a
change of suit for trumps shall take place.
94. Maxims for All-Fours.
i. Make your knave as soon as you can.
ii. Secure your tens by playing any small cards, by which you may
throw the lead into you adversary's hand.
iii. Win your adversary's best cards when you can, either by
trumping or with superior cards.
iv. If, bei
