the knave and stands his game, the dealer has neither trump, ten, ace, nor court-card; it will follow that the knave will be both high, low, Jack, and game, as explained by--

93. Terms used in All-Fours.

i. _High_.--For the highest trump out, the holder scores one point.

ii. _Low_.--For the lowest trump out, the original holder scores one point, even if it be taken by the adversary.

iii. _Jack_.--For the knave of trumps the holder scores one. If it be won by the adversary, the winner scores the point.

iv. _Game_.--The greatest number that, in the tricks gained, are shown by either player, reckoning:

_Four_ for an ace. _Three_ for a king. _Two_ for a queen. _One_ for a knave. _Ten_ for a ten.

The other cards do not count: thus it may happen that a deal may be played without having any to reckon for game.

v. _Begging_ is when the eldest hand, disliking his cards, uses his privilege, and says, "_I beg_;" in which case the dealer either suffers his adversary to score one point, saying, "_Take one_," or gives each player three cards more from the pack, and then turns up the next card, the seventh for trumps. If, however, the trump turned up to be of the same suit as the first, the dealer must go on, giving each three cards more, and turning up the seventh, until a change of suit for trumps shall take place.

94. Maxims for All-Fours.

i. Make your knave as soon as you can.
