Sayfa 12 - Whist," 1864), the alteration took place under the following circumstances : " Some sixty or seventy years back, Lord Peterborough E 2 having one night lost a large sum of money, the friends with whom he was playing proposed to make the game five points instead of ten, in order to give the loser a chance, at a quicker game, of recovering his loss. The late Mr. Hoare, of Bath, a very good whist-player, and without a superior at piquet, was one of this party, and has more than once told me the story.
Sayfa 7 - A CLEAR fire, a clean hearth, and the rigor of the game." This was the celebrated wish of old Sarah Battle (now with God), who, next to her devotions, loved a good game of whist.

Sayfa 222 - ... numerous class of cases, which, although not unsimilar, cannot strictly be called finesse. Take the same cards as given in the last example. Your partner equally takes with the queen and returns the eight, but your right-hand adversary renounces the suit. You now know that the ace, ten, and knave are all three behind you, and it is true that there is no finesse against a hand which has none of the suit played. Still, you would be very wrong to play your king. You must pass your partner's eight,...
Sayfa 11 - Between 1850 and 1860, a knot of young men at Cambridge, of considerable ability, who had at first taken up whist for amusement, found it offer such a field for intellectual study, that they continued its practice more systematically, with a view to its complete scientific investigation.
