It is taking an unfair advantage of the other couple for them to play partners. If playing for stakes, the gentleman pays for his lady partner in the event of loss; but does not receive her winnings. All violations of the known rules of the game are violations of the laws of etiquette as well.
If he ever tickles the Black wit' 'em say, boys, there'll be a merry hell to pay, and no pitch hot." The young Arab spoke to the boards as though they were partners in his iniquity. Then he chuckled diabolically, as in fancy he saw Porter being trampled by the horse. "The girl's on Lauzanne," he muttered; "she's the best in the lot, if she did run me down.
Your partner is not allowed to waltz, and, indeed, is equally incapable: but I observed during the country dance that you waltz well; so, if you will waltz with me, I beg you would propose it to my partner, and I will propose it to yours."

I've saw him raising hell with her, off in some corner between dances, and her trying not to let on she's cryin'.
