Putting & Throwing
Either player, when about to lead to a trick, may do one of three things:
- Throw his hand in, thus conceding the deal and 1 point to the opponent.
- Lead a card without saying anything. His opponent must then play.
- Say "Put", which is short for "I put it to you that you should throw your cards in while you have the chance". If the opponent follows this advice, the deal ends and the putter scores 1 point. If not, putter leads and the other must play.

“The Sweeping up the Heart
And putting Love away
We shall not want to use again
Until Eternity.”

“Nothing more powerfully excites any affection than to conceal some part of its object, by throwing it into a kind of shade, which at the same time that it shows enough to prepossess us in favour of the object, leaves still some work for the imagination.”
