Lady Cadogan's Terms
Terms from the book Lady Cadogan's Illustrated Games of Patience. This defines the forgotten term Talon (alias Stock), which is still in use in Germany. Also note the term Marriage of cards.
- Talon — Cards which, being unsuitable at the moment, are laid aside in one or more packets till they can come into use. Note: In German books Talon refers to the stock-pile not the waste-pile as this might suggest here.
- To play cards — The placing them on the foundations in contradistinction to placing them elsewhere. Note that this is different than the definition of play in the Glossary of card terms.

Famous quotes containing the words lady and/or terms:
“And that singular anomaly, the lady novelist—
I don’t think she’d be missed—I’m sure she’d not be
missed!”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
“In colonial America, the father was the primary parent. . . . Over the past two hundred years, each generation of fathers has had less authority than the last. . . . Masculinity ceased to be defined in terms of domestic involvement, skills at fathering and husbanding, but began to be defined in terms of making money. Men had to leave home to work. They stopped doing all the things they used to do.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
