. 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 misdeal, or he may ask the players to count their cards. One partner may not deal for another without the consent of opponents.] vii.

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. [Only _one_ trick is to be shown; not m
