(2) When the irregularity is discovered at the time the cards are taken up for overplay and before such overplay has begun: It must be sent back to the table from which it came, and the error be there rectified. (3) When the irregularity is not discovered until after the overplay has begun: In two-table duplicate there must be a new deal; but in a game in which the same deals are played at more than two tables, the hands must be rectified as is provided above and then passed to the next table without overplay at the table at which the error was discovered; in which case, if a player have less than thirteen cards and his adversary the corresponding surplus, each pair takes the average score for that deal; if, however, his partner have the corresponding surplus, his pair is given the lowest score and his opponents the highest score made at any table for that deal. C. _Playing the cards._ Each player, when it is his turn to play, must place his card, face upward, before him and toward the centre of the table. He must allow it to remain upon the table in this position until all have played to the trick, when he must turn it over and place it face downward, nearer to himself; if he or his partner have won the trick, the card should point toward his partner and himself; otherwise it should point toward the adversaries. The declarer may either play dummy’s cards or may call them by name whenever it is dummy’s turn to play and have dummy play them for him. A trick is turned and quitted when all four players have turned and ceased to touch their respective cards. The cards must be left in the order in which they were played until the scores of the deal have been recorded. D.
. . O ] The pins are set up as above. Three balls (not exceeding 6 inches in size) are allowed in each inning. If the four back pins are bowled down and the head pin is left standing, the score is 2. If all the pins are bowled down, the score is 1. There are no penalties. The dead wood must be removed. Any pins knocked down through the dead wood remaining on the alleys cannot be placed to the credit of the player. Ten innings constitute a game.
IV. When a player undertakes to give check-mate with one of his Pawns, or with a particular Pawn, the said Pawn must not be converted into a piece. V. When a player accepts the odds of two or more moves, he must not play any man beyond the fourth square, _i.e._, he must not cross the middle line of the board, before his adversary makes his first move. Such several moves are to be collectively considered as the first move of the player accepting the odds. VI. In the odds of check-mating on a particular square it must be the square occupied by the King mated, not by the man giving the mate. VII.
, suiting their actions to the words of the verses sung. The boy who was chosen then presents a ring, usually a blade of grass wrapped round her finger, to the girl. The ring then sing the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth verses. When all have chosen, if any lad is left without a partner, the last verse is sung. The version recorded by Chambers is similar in action, but there are some important differences in detail. The centre child acts as mistress of the ceremonies. The ring of children dance round her, singing the verses. At the end of the first line of the second verse they all courtesy to her, and she returns the compliment. At the conclusion of this verse she selects a girl from the ring and asks her her sweetheart s name, which is imparted in a whisper. Upon this the child in the centre sings the third verse, the ring dancing round as before.
III. Hark the robbers Coming through, coming through, My fair lady. They have stolen my watch and chain, Watch and chain, watch and chain. Off to prison they shall go, They shall go, they shall go, My fair lady. --Wolstanton, Stoke-on-Trent (Miss A. A. Keary). IV. Hark the robbers coming through, Coming through, coming through, Hark the robbers coming through, My fair lady. What s the robbers done to you, Done to you, done to you, What s the robbers done to you, My fair lady? They have stole my watch and chain, Watch and chain, watch and chain, They have stole my watch and chain, My fair lady.
=_ When the last card has been played, each side turns over all the tricks won, and counts the points they contain; High, Low, Jack, Game, Right and Left Pedro. Everything, including Low, counts to the side winning it. The number of points won or lost is determined by deducting the lower score from the higher, the difference being the number of points won on that deal. If it is a tie, neither side scores. If either side has incurred a penalty which prevents them from scoring any points they may have won, the adversaries have nothing to deduct, and score all they make. If the side that named the trump fails to make as many points as it bid, it scores nothing, and the number of points bid are scored by the adversaries, in addition to any points that the adversaries may have made in play. For instance: A-B are partners against Y-Z. B has bid to make 8, and named hearts for trumps. A-B make 10, which is 2 more than they bid, Y-Z getting the other 4; which leaves A-B 6. These are scored by placing one red and one white counter in the pool.
Can I get there o candle-light? There and back again. Here s my black [raising one foot], And here s my blue [raising the other], Open the gates and let me through. --Annaverna, Ravendale, co.

A curtsey to you, another to you, If you please will you let the king s horses go through? Yes, but take care of your hindmost man. --Belfast (W.

[24] See Law 50. The same ruling applies to Law 54. [25] This includes a double or redouble out of turn. See Law 57. TEXT BOOKS. Bridge, and How to Play It, by A. Dunn, Jr., 1899. Foster’s Bridge Manual, by R.F.
33. The revoke can be claimed at any time before the cards have been presented and cut for the following deal, but not thereafter. MISCELLANEOUS. 34. Any one, during the play of a trick and before the cards have been touched for the purpose of gathering them together, may demand that the players draw their cards. 35. If any one, prior to his partner playing, calls attention in any manner to the trick or to the score, the adversary last to play to the trick may require the offender’s partner to play his highest or lowest of the suit led or, if he has none, to trump or not to trump the trick. 36. If any player says “I can win the rest,” “The rest are ours,” “We have the game,” or words to that effect, his partner’s cards must be laid upon the table and are liable to be called. 37.
How much of what you ve been feeding me is just window dressing? She shrugged, but stayed silent. _Have_ you been married? I insisted. Yes, Billy Joe. _And_ divorced? Oh, darlin Billy, she sighed. I jest shouldn t never a _done_ that. But I did, she added. Talk English, I snapped. This chitterlin s and corn pone are just more window dressing, right? Her face was solemn behind the glasses. When you are a smart girl, and you know the future, too, they hate you and try to hurt you, she said. They don t seem to mind it so much if it comes from a piece of white trash that never could be no account.
It is called Hop-bed at Stixwold in Lincolnshire (Miss Peacock), Hop-score in Yorkshire (Halliwell, l.c.), and Hitchibed in Cleveland, Yorks. (_Glossary of Cleveland Words_). Strutt describes it (_Sports_, p. 383); and Wood s _Modern Playmate_, p. 32, gives a diagram similar to one seen on a London pavement by A. B. Gomme (see fig. 7).
In Auction Hearts, the player to the left of the dealer has the first bid, the dealer the last, and there is no second bid. THE BÉZIQUE FAMILY. This family includes three of our most popular games; Bézique itself, Binocle, and Sixty-Six. These are all comparatively modern games, but are descended from very old stock, the best known of the ancestors being Marriage, Matrimony, and Cinq-Cents. The etymology of the word Bézique is very much disputed. Some claim that it is from the Spanish basa, afterwards basico, a little kiss; referring to the union of the spade Queen and the diamond Jack, and the various marriages in the game. This was afterwards Basique, transformed by the French to Bésique, and by the English to Bézique. One English writer thinks the word is from bésaigne, the double-headed axe. Judging from the rank of the cards, which is peculiar to German games, Bézique may have originated in an attempt to play Binocle with a piquet pack, for Binocle seems to have been originally played with a full pack of fifty-two cards. One German writer says the game is of Swiss origin, and that they probably got it from Spain.

Then thread the needle, &c. The game is also described in _Notes and Queries_, iv. 141, as played in the same way as above, and the writer adds there are subsequent evolutions by which each couple becomes in succession the eye of the needle. Howly A street game played by boys in a town, one of them hiding behind a wall or house-end, and crying Howly to the seekers.--Atkinson s _Cleveland Glossary_. See Hide and Seek. Huckie-buckie down the Brae Children in Lothian have a sport in which they slide down a hill, sitting on their hunkers (Jamieson). The well-known custom at Greenwich is probably the same game, and there are examples at Tumbling Hill, a few miles from Exeter, at May Pole Hill, near Gloucester, and other places. Huckle-bones Holloway (_Dict. of Provincialisms_) says that the game is called Huckle-bones in East Sussex and Dibs in West Sussex.
The cards rank, A 10 K Q J 9; the Ace being the highest, both in cutting and in play. _=Markers.=_ The game may be kept with the small cards in the unused portion of the pack, or with a whist marker or counters. Anything that will score up to seven points will do. _=Players.=_ The regular game is played by two persons, one of whom is known as the dealer, and the other as the pone. They cut for seats and deal, the highest cut having the choice. _=Stakes.=_ Sixty-six is played for so much a game, or for so much a point, the loser’s score being deducted from the winner’s. If the loser has not scored at all, it is usually counted a double game.
--Jamieson. See Eller Tree, Wind up Jack, Wind up the Bush Faggot. Bummers A play of children. Bummers--a thin piece of wood swung round by a cord (_Blackwood s Magazine_, Aug. 1821, p. 35). Jamieson says the word is evidently denominated from the booming sound produced. Bun-hole A hole is scooped out in the ground with the heel in the shape of a small dish, and the game consists in throwing a marble as near to this hole as possible. Sometimes, when several holes are made, the game is called Holy. --Addy s _Sheffield Glossary_; _Notes and Queries_, xii.
I shrugged. The whole stack, Smythe, I told him. His eyebrows went halfway up his tall, tall forehead. But he put them all down on the bar top, about twenty-five silver dollars. Show me, I said. He ran his fingertips down the side of the stack of silver. Another tactile. Well, he certainly wasn t much of a perceptive, or he would have been able to handle the Blackout himself. He closed his eyes for the hard lift. Some do that.
Later the one who named them pretends tasting, and says, Very nice, or You must be baked longer, when another squatting walk and wait takes place. A version sent by Mr. J. P. Emslie is similar to the other London versions-- Buy my fine honey to-day. Which shall I buy? Taste em and try. The child would then go round, pretending to taste, saying, Don t like that one, till one was approved. That one was then swung round to the tune given, the words being-- An apple for the king and a pear for the queen, And a good jump over the bowling green. At the last bar they swung the child higher and higher, and at the last note they swung it as high as they could. I believe the last note in the music should be G, but it was raised to give effect.

The Sporle version gives it as Jenny Joe, which is clearly a misunderstood rendering of Jenny jo. The corruption of this into Jenny Jones is exactly what might be expected from modern English ignorance of the pretty meaning of the word jo, dear; and to what lengths this corruption may proceed under such influences may be seen by versions from Earls Heaton, where we have Jingy Jog; Leeds, where we get Jilly Jog; and the Edinburgh version, where we have Georgina. This would be an argument for the Scottish home of the rhymes, and for the direct borrowing of the name from Scotland by the English villagers. In furtherance of this view the following passage from Chambers may be quoted:-- In the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, Janet Jo is a dramatic entertainment amongst young rustics. Suppose a party has met in a harvest or winter evening round a good peat fire, and it is resolved to have Janet Jo performed. Two undertake to personate a goodman and a goodwife; the rest a family of marriageable daughters. One of the lads, the best singer of the party, retires, and equips himself in a dress proper for representing an old bachelor in search of a wife. He comes in, bonnet in hand, bowing, and sings-- Guid e en to ye, maidens a , Maidens a , maidens a , Guid e en to ye, maidens a , Be ye or no. I m come to court Janet jo, Janet jo, Janet jo, I m come to court Janet jo, Janet, my jo. Goodwife sings--What ll ye gie for Janet jo, Janet jo, Janet jo? What ll ye gie for Janet jo, Janet, my jo? Wooer--I ll gie ye a peck o siller, A peck o siller, peck o siller, I ll gie ye a peck o siller, For Janet, my jo.
