The player should separate four of his tricks from the remainder, remembering that the first is to stand for clubs, the second for diamonds, the third for hearts, and the last for spades. In case he suspects the revoke to have been made in spades, separate the fourth trick a short distance from the other three ; if in hearts, separate the third and fourth from the first and second, and in like manner the rest. From these tricks, the player will receive assistance.
