The exact system for forming the card pegs has been
used for the Aces to Tens only. The reason for this should
be obvious to you. If we were to follow the same system for
the court, or picture cards, each court card peg word would
have to contain two consonant sounds aside from the first
letter. This is so because the Jack represents #11, the
Queen—#12 and the King—#13. It would be a bit diffi-
cult to find words that are easy to picture, and which would
still fit into the system. So, for the four Jacks I simply use
the name of the suit itself for the peg word; each of which
is a word that is easily pictured. The King of Clubs and
Queen of Hearts will always be represented by the words,
"king" and "queen" respectively. For the remaining court
cards I have chosen words that begin with the initial suit
letter, and that rhyme as closely as possible to the sound of
the card itself, i.e. King (Spades)—sing: Queen (Dia-
monds)—dream.
Don't let these exceptions throw you, they'll stick in your
mind because of the fact that they are exceptions.
If you have looked at the list of card pegs, you have un-
doubtedly recognized some of them as being the same as
your number words. This will not create any confusion
