The eldest hand plays a card; and whether the adversary pass it, win
it, or tie it, has a right to say, "_I put_," or place his cards on
the pack. If you accept the first and your opponent decline the
challenge, you score one; if you prefer the latter, your adversary
gains a point; but if, before he play, your opponent says, "_I put_,"
and you do not choose to see him, he is entitled to add one to his
score. It is sometimes good play to say, "_I put_," before you play a
card: this depends on the nature of your hand.
