Mabel: Want to play cards?
Mabel: Want to play cards?
Ruth: Oh, that sounds like a lark. What shall we play?
Mabel: Contract Rummy?
Edith: Splendid! I know that game.
Mabel: I start by removing one joker from these two decks and dealing 10 cards.
Edith: Remove a joker? Whatever for?
Mildred: 10 cards? Surely nine.
Ruth: You mean seven cards, of course.
Mabel: RAW is 10 cards. Jokers to number one less than the number of players.
Mildred: Fine, Mabel, we shall reconcile our differences during play. Are runs still four cards of the same suit in sequence and books still three of a kind?
Mabel: Of course, dear.
later
Edith: There, I meld with two books consisting of 4 threes and another of 3 jacks.
Mabel: You cannot play that fourth three.
Edith: I beg your pardon?
Mabel: You may only meld with the minimum cards. You play your other cards on subsequent turns.
Edith (rising from the table): Mabel…
Mabel: It appears you usually play some inferior version…Shanghai or Liverpool Rummy, only good for the guttersnipes in the beer halls.
Edith: flips table
