41. If the dealer have not sufficient cards remaining in the pack to give
to every player the number of cards demanded after the discard, the dealer
shall call upon any player who has not discarded, but who intends to
discard, to do so, and to announce the number he discards, and the dealer
also shall discard, and the dealer (or some player for him) shall then
collect the whole of the cards discarded, and shall collect them in a pack
and shuffle them, and shall have them cut by the player at his right hand,
and shall then use them to supply the players who have discarded.

by such player, and such player or any player point out the excess before
any of the cards so given are raised from the table, the dealer shall take
