OF DISCARDING.

1. If the elder-hand be dissatisfied with his cards, he proposes to

exchange them in whole or in part, by saying, I discard, or I propose,

or if you please, or any other equivalent phrase. If the second player

be also dissatisfied with his hand, he accedes to the proposal by

saying, How many? He then gives the elder hand as many cards as he

demands, and afterwards takes as many as he wants himself to the full

number of the whole hand, five cards each, if requisite.
