DUMMY
61. As soon as the eldest hand has led, the dealer’s partner shall place his cards face upward on the table, and the duty of playing the cards from that hand shall devolve upon the dealer, unassisted by his partner.
62. Before exposing his cards, the dealer’s partner has all the rights of a player, but after his cards have been shown the dealer’s partner takes no part whatever in the play, except that he has the right—
a To ask the dealer whether he has none of the suit in which he may have renounced.
b To ask the dealer when called upon to play his highest or lowest card whether he has conformed to the penalty.
c To call the dealer’s attention to the fact that a trick has not been completed.
d To correct the claim of either adversary to a penalty to which the latter is not entitled.
e To call attention to the fact that a trick has been erroneously taken by either side.
f To participate in the discussion of any disputed question of fact which may arise between the dealer and either adversary.
g To correct an erroneous score.
63. Should the dealer’s partner call attention to any other incident of the play, in consequence of which any penalty might be exacted, the fact of his so doing precludes the dealer exacting such penalty.
64. If the dealer’s partner, by touching a card or otherwise, suggest the play of a card from dummy, either of the adversaries may, but without consultation, call upon the dealer to play or not to play the card suggested.
65. Dummy is not liable to the penalty for a revoke; and if he should revoke and the error be not discovered until the trick is turned and quitted, the trick stands good.
66. A card from the dealer’s hand is not played until actually quitted; but should the dealer name or touch a card from the dummy hand, such card is considered as played, unless the dealer in touching the card or cards says, “I arrange,” or words to that effect.
