Note 58 — HASSAN OR THE CHILD OF THE PYRAMID (continued 3)

It has before been mentioned that at this game it is forbidden to aim at the head; but, moreover, in order to explain the expressions of Delì Pasha, it must be mentioned that, according to the rules of the game, every “bout” consists of two charges, in which each alternately advances and retreats. It is then considered over, and cannot be continued unless a regular challenge be given for another “bout.”
