DUMMY.

62. As soon as a card is led, whether in or out of turn, the dealer's

partner shall place his cards face upwards on the table, and the duty of

playing the cards from that hand, which is called Dummy, and of claiming

and enforcing any penalties arising during the hand, shall devolve upon the

dealer, unassisted by his partner.

63. After exposing Dummy, the dealer's partner has no part whatever in the

game, except that he has the right to ask the dealer if he has none of the

suit in which he may have renounced. If he call attention to any other

incident in the play of the hand, in respect of which any penalty might be

exacted, the fact that he has done so shall deprive the dealer of the right

of exacting such penalty against his adversaries.

64. If the dealer's partner, by touching a card, or {239} otherwise,

suggest the play of a card from Dummy, either of the adversaries may, but

without consulting with his partner, call upon the dealer to play or not to

play the card suggested.

65. When the dealer draws a card, either from his own hand or from Dummy,

such card is not considered as played until actually quitted.

66. A card once played, or named by the dealer as to be played from his own

hand or from Dummy, cannot be taken back, except to save a revoke.

67. The dealer's partner may not look over his adversaries' hands, nor

leave his seat for the purpose of watching his partner's play.

68. Dummy is not liable to any penalty for a revoke, as his adversaries see

his cards. Should he revoke, and the error not be discovered until the

trick is turned and quitted, the trick stands good.

69. Dummy being blind and deaf, his partner is not liable to any penalty

for an error whence he can gain no advantage. Thus, he may expose some, or

all of his cards, without incurring any penalty.
