125. Marriages, Sequences, &c.

i. The cards forming the declarations are placed on the table to
show that they are properly scored, and the cards may thence be
played into tricks as if in your hand.

ii. Kings and queens once married cannot be re-married, but can be
used, while they remain on the table, to make up four kings, four
queens, or a sequence.

iii. The king and queen used in a sequence cannot afterwards be
declared as a royal marriage.

iv. If four knaves have been declared, the knave of diamonds may be
used again for a bezique, or to complete a sequence.

v. If four aces have been declared, the ace of trumps may he again
used to perfect a sequence.

vi. If the queen of spades has been married, she may he again used
to form a bezique, and _vice versa_, and again for four queens.

vii. Playing the seven of trumps--except in last eight tricks--10;
exchanging the seven of trumps for the trump card--10; the last
trick--10; each ace and ten in the tricks--at the end of each
deal--10.

viii. The game is 1,000, 2,000, or 4,000 up. Markers are sold with
the cards.

126. Forfeits at Bezique.

The following are Forfeits:

i. For drawing out of turn, 10;

ii. For playing out of turn, 10;

iii. For playing without drawing, 10;

iv. For overdrawing, 100;

v. For a revoke in the last eight tricks, all the eight tricks.

127. Cautions in Bezique.

In playing Bezique, it is best to keep your tens till you can make
them count; to retain your sequence cards as long as possible; to
watch your opponent's play; to declare a royal marriage previous to
declaring a sequence or double bezique; to make sure of the last trick
but one in order to prevent your opponent from declaring; to declare
as soon as you have an opportunity.

128. Three-Handed Bezique.

i. The above rules hold good in the case of three-handed
games--treble bezique counting 1,500. An extra pack of cards is
required for the third other player; so that, in the case of three,
the trump card is the twenty-fifth.

ii. The game is always played from left to right, the first player
on the left of the dealer commencing. Three-handed bezique is
sometimes played with two packs of cards, suppressing an eight, thus
