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 bézique, 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 bézique, and _vice versâ_, 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.
