8.--The four who play first again draw to decide on partners. The two
lowest play against the two highest. The lowest is the dealer and has
choice of cards and seats, and, having once made his selection, must abide
by it. {168}
9.--Two players drawing cards of equal value, which are not the two
highest, draw again. If the equal cards are not the two lowest, the higher
in the new draw plays with the highest in the original draw; if the equal
cards are the two lowest, the new draw decides who is to deal.[49]
10.--Three players drawing cards of equal value draw again; should the
fourth (or remaining) card be the highest in the original draw, the two
lowest of the new draw are partners, the lower of those two the dealer;
should the fourth card be the lowest, the two highest are partners, the
original lowest the dealer.[50]
