Roll Card

Famous quotes containing the words roll and/or card:

    For the Eye altering alters all;
    The Senses roll themselves in fear
    And the flat Earth becomes a Ball.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    In the game of “Whist for two,” usually called “Correspondence,” the lady plays what card she likes: the gentleman simply follows suit. If she leads with “Queen of Diamonds,” however, he may, if he likes, offer the “Ace of Hearts”: and, if she plays “Queen of Hearts,” and he happens to have no Heart left, he usually plays “Knave of Clubs.”
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
