Dear Robert,
Many thanks for this - I followed the link and I must confess I did not
understand anything about that game, and why WSC's version was different.
In his biographies, "bezique" is everywhere and "solitaire" almost nowhere.
Both sound French, but they are not played in contemporary France, and I
have no clue about their nature : is there a connection between the two ?
No doubt some List Members must be latter-day adepts of these card games and
can make all this understandable to all of us.
With all best wishes,
