- **THE MISSING LINK**
-
- The aim of this patience is to form four ascending sequences from the Aces,
- following suit, upon the Foundation bases. (Single pack).
-
- 1 Shuffle and cut the pack, then take one card from the middle and put it
- aside face down without looking at it; this is the `Missing Link'. Lay out
- another seven cards in a row face upward, and if an Ace occurs among them,
- take it out and place it above the row, filling its vacancy from the pack.
- Treat the other Aces similarly when they turn up.
-
- 2 Deal out the rest of the pack on the seven Depots in any way you like,
- building, as opportunity occurs, on the Ace Foundations in ascending sequence
- and following suit. So far as possible, avoid packing high value cards onto
- low value ones.
-
- 3 When all the pack has been dealt out turn up the `Missing Link', and if by
- its aid you can complete the Ace packets you have succeeded. There is no
- second deal.
