The second Matador is the one named Manilla or Malilla, and is the Nine of Money. The third Matador is the Ace of Sticks, called Basto, "he who knocks or beats." It is the Caduceus, or Rod, and the suit takes its name from it. In certain parts of the game it is played with great effect, as is mentioned in "Cranford," by Mrs. Gaskell, where is a description of some ladies playing a game that was then called "Preference"; where Miss Barker at the card table was "basting most unmercifully, although she declared that she was too ignorant to know Spadille from Manille." The fourth Matador is the Ace of Cups, and is called Punto, which means the point or spot. Players of Skat will readily recognize these terms and the value of the cards. Rules and play vary in different countries, so it would take close study of each game to point out the various rules, names, etc., that connect the games of the day with their five-hundred-year-old ancestor. In England the eldest descendant of L'Ombre seems to be Primero, Prime, Prima-sta, or Preference, for all are the same game. Some writers claim that when Philip of Spain was wooing Mary of England he taught her the game fashionable at the court of his father, Charles V, but Primero was in vogue among the people from the days of Henry VIII to that of James I, so much so that Piquet, the French game taught to Henry's mother when the French pips were introduced into England, was greatly neglected except in court circles. In the Earl of Northumberland's letters we find a reference to the game, as in one of them is the following sentence: "Jocelyn Percy was playing at Primero on Sunday in Essex House, when his uncle the conspirator called on him." In the Sidney Papers, Vol. II (page 83), there is an account of Sir Walter Raleigh, William Ambrose Willoughby, and Mr. Parker "being at Primero in the Presence Chamber, the queen was gone to bed. Lord Southampton, as Squire of the Body, desired him, Willoughby, to give over. Soon after he spoke to them again that if they did not leave he would call in the Guard to pull down the board, which Sir Walter Rawley seeing put up his money and went his ways." This occurred in 1598. In Marcus's "Life at Primero," many of the terms used in the game are mentioned, such as Prime, Rest, Eldest Hand, Flush, Stop, Pack, etc., all of which have been adopted in one or more modern games. In Minshew's Spanish Dictionary there is an illustration of players at Primero in the time of Queen Elizabeth. In "Capitolo del Gioco della Primera," by Berni, the game is thus mentioned: "To describe what Primera is would be little less than useless, for there can scarcely be any one so ignorant as to be unacquainted with it, although played differently in Florence from Venice, Naples, France, or Spain, but none of these various ways of playing the game are superior to the Rules of Rome, where the game principally flourishes."
