Re: Spencer/Nell
"So, about the same time playing cards were coming into Europe, then?" Nell slid the card into the lower portion of the middle of the deck. Card tricks weren't something she'd studied, but random things like when playing cards themselves originated had ways of migrating into her brain. "So, were the cards invented for the tricks and then other games came later? Or did they play card games and someone started playing tricks with them?" It was all too easy to get her started asking questions, putting information together.
Watching as he shuffled, Nell smiled before accepting the deck to shuffle herself. One thing a girl had to learn when living with three older brothers in college: how to do a proper accordion shuffle. There was probably a rule somewhere in the little sister handbook. Learn to shuffle better than the boys to be invited to their impromptu casino night in the basement. After a dozen or so quick shuffles, she passed the deck back up to the front seat. "There you go."
