When you play your last trump'always. exclaim; " The last of the Mohicans." It prevents misapprehension. By constantly asserting that you "never get a d<?al" you very frequently get two deals to the adversary's one. When accused of bad play always commence your reply with " The veriest tyro." It promotes harmony. If Cavendish or Clay are quoted against your play, shrug your shoulders and sayj "That may be Cavendish (or Clay), it isn't Hoyl'e." This is casting oil upon the troubled waters. —Hornet.
