115.
Natural
Vingt-un.
Twenty-one,
when
dealt
in
a
player's
first
two
cards,
is
styled
a
Natural.
It
should
be
declared
at
once,
and
entitles
the
holder
to
double
stakes
from
the
dealer,
and
to
the
deal,
except
it
be
agreed
to
pass
the
deal
round.
If
the
dealer
turns
up
a
natural
he
takes
double
stakes
from
all
the
players
and
retains
the
deal.
If
there
be
more
than
one
natural,
all
after
the
first
receive
single
stakes
only.
Aces
count
either
eleven
or
one;
court
cards,
ten;
the
rest
according
to
their
points.
116.
The
Odds
of
natural
Vingt-un
depend
upon
the
average
number
of
cards
likely
to
come
under
or
exceed
twenty-one;
for
example,
if
those
in
hand
make
fourteen
exactly,
it
is
seven
to
six
that
the
one
next
drawn
does
not
make
the
number
of
points
above
twenty-one;
but
if
the
points
be
fifteen,
it
is
seven
to
six
against
that
hand;
yet
it
would
not,
therefore,
always
be
prudent
to
stand
at
fifteen,
for
as
the
ace
may
be
calculated
both
ways,
it
is
rather
above
an
even
bet
that
the
adversary's
first
two
cards
amount
to
more
than
fourteen.
A
natural
Vingt-un
may
be
expected
once
in
seven
coups
when
two,
and
twice
in
seven
when
four,
people
play,
and
so
on,
according
to
the
number
of
players.

Quadrille.
This
game,
formerly
very
popular,
has
been
superseded
by
Whist.
Quadrille,
the
game
referred
to
by
Pope
in
his
"Rape
of
the
Lock,"
is
now
obsolete.
