I. The foundations follow suit.

II. The uppermost card of each packet of the helps is alone available

until its removal releases the card beneath.

III. When queens appear among the helps, whether placed in the original

deal or in refilling vacancies, no other cards can be laid upon them.

They remain as single cards.

PLAY

Deal out eight cards in the shape of a capital A: these are called

helps. Whenever in the course of the deal knaves turn up, they are to

be placed so as to form the letter N (see tableau). The eight knaves

are the foundation cards, which _descend_ in sequence to kings.

When the helps (letter A) have been laid out, play from them any

suitable cards to continue the foundations (if any of these have been

already placed), refilling the vacancies from the pack or talon. You

next proceed to form marriages in _ascending_ line with cards of the

helps, except in the case of queens, on which cards must not be placed

(Rules II and III).

When no other cards can be played or married, proceed to deal out the

entire pack, playing the knaves and other suitable cards forming

marriages with cards in the helps, refilling vacancies and placing

unsuitable cards as a talon.

If the game succeeds, the final tableau shows the letter A composed of

queens, and the letter N of kings, with which the foundation cards

terminate.

The talon may be re-dealt twice.
