Famous quotes containing the words fast and/or card:
“Youth, however, is a defect that she is fast getting away from and may perhaps be entirely rid of before I shall want her.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“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)
