44 Correspondance les pontes peuvent mettre, et les pontes n’ont en tout pour eux que deux cartes64 ; et je suppose que la compagnie soit composée de treize jeunes gens, et qu’un chacun d’eux prenne une carte ; c’est-à-dire, l’un un As, le second un Deux, le troisième un Trois, le quatrième un Quatre ainsi des autres, et mettent chacun un ducat sur leur carte, le banquier leur gagnera onze cartes, et ces jeunes gens n’en gagneront que deux ; par conséquent le banquier aura neuf ducats de bénéfice chaque taille, quoique la coupe ait semblé aux pontes faite au hasard.
48 Description traditionnelle du mauvais joueur ; cf. Montaigne : « Qui n’a vu mâcher et engloutir les cartes ? » (Essais, I, 4) et Saint-Evremond : « L’un s’emporte, l’autre déchire les cartes ; celle-ci les mord, l’autre les écrase ; elle maudit la couleur, se désespère du coupe-gorge » (cité par Dictionnaire de Trévoux, art. « coupe-gorge »). 49 On retrouve ici pour la première fois une expression contenue dans le titre et l’ « Avis au lecteur » ; et qui sera reprise une vingtaine de fois dans la seconde moitié de l’ouvrage.
Si la banque est considérable, et que les pontes dont je vous parle voient qu’elle mérite bien la peine de faire des frais, ils font faire (hors de l’endroit où ils ont envie d’exercer leur talent) une planche de même que celle dont se servent les cartiers, en donnant eux-mêmes le modèle du tarotage qu’ils veulent que l’ouvrier inculque dans ladite planche ; et quand l’ouvrier leur a rendu cette planche, ils lui disent qu’ils en ont encore besoin d’une pareille, et il lui donnent encore un autre modèle qui est si semblable, que l’ouvrier croit que c’est le même, et cependant il diffère, mais de bien peu de chose.
