[A
LADY
IN
AMERICA
MADE
A
QUILT
IN
55,555
PIECES.]
134.
Quinze
or
Fifteen
is
played
by
two
persons.
The
cards
are
shuffled
by
both
players,
and
when
they
have
cut
for
deal
(which
falls
to
the
lot
of
him
who
cuts
the
lowest),
the
dealer
has
the
liberty
to
shuffle
them
again.
When
this
is
done,
the
adversary
cuts
them;
after
which,
the
dealer
gives
one
card
to
his
opponent,
and
one
to
himself.
Should
the
dealer's
adversary
not
approve
of
his
card,
he
is
entitled
to
have
as
many
cards
given
to
him,
one
after
the
other,
as
will
make
fifteen,
or
come
nearest
to
that
number;
which
are
usually
given
from
the
top
of
the,
pack:
for
example--if
he
should
have
a
deuce,
and
draw
a
five,
which
amounts
to
seven,
he
must
continue
going
on,
in
expectation
of
coming
nearer
to
fifteen.
If
he
draw
an
eight,
which
will
make
just
fifteen,
he,
as
being
eldest
hand,
is
sure
of
winning
the
game.
But
if
he
overdraw
himself,
and
make
more
than
fifteen,
he
loses,
unless
the
dealer
should
happen
to
do
the
same;
which
circumstance
constitutes
a
drawn
game;
and
the
stakes
are
consequently
doubled.
In
this
manner
they
persevere,
until
one
of
them
has
won
the
game,
by
standing
and
being
nearest
to
fifteen.
At
the
end
of
each
game
the
cards
are
packed
and
shuffled,
and
the
players
again
cut
for
deal.
The
advantage
is
invariably
or
the
side
of
the
elder
hand.
