. The right-hand adversary cuts to dealer.]
ii. If a card be exposed, a fresh deal may be demanded.
iii. Dealer must not look at bottom card; and the trump-card must be
left, face upwards, on the table till the first trick be turned, or
opponents may call a fresh deal.
iv. Too many or too few cards is a misdeal--an exposed or face card.
In either case, a fresh deal may be demanded.
[In cases of a misdeal, the deal passes to the next player.]
v. After the first round has been played, no fresh deal can be
called.
[If the first player hold fewer than thirteen cards, the other hands
being right, the deal stands.]
vi. If two cards be dealt to the same player, the dealer may rectify
his error before dealing another card.
[The dealer must not touch the cards after they have left his hands;
but he may count those remaining in the pack if he suspect a

may not deal for another without the consent of opponents.]
vii. If the trump-card be not taken into the dealer's hand at the
expiration of the first round, it may be treated as an exposed card,

viii. If the third hand play before the second, the fourth has a

the second or third, the cards so played must stand, and the second
be compelled to win the trick if he can.
ix. If a player lead out of his turn, or otherwise expose a card,
that card may be _called_, if the playing of it does not cause a
revoke.
[Calling a card is the insisting of its being played when the suit
comes round, or when it may be played.]
x. If a player trump by mistake, he may recall his card, and play to
the suit, if the card be not covered; but he may be compelled to
play the highest or lowest of the suit led, and to play the exposed
trump when it is called by his adversaries.
xi. If, before a trick be turned, a player discover that he has not
followed suit, he may recall his card; but the card played in error
can be called when the suit is played.
xii. Before a trick is turned, the player who made it may see the
preceding trick.
