Primary Evidence

"His uncle had now become so addicted to bridge that he never travelled without his own folding card-table. One of his first gifts to the Prince of Wales was a set of ivory baccarat counters embossed with the fleur-de-lis. The Heir always tucked it into his crocodile dressing-case before going on his travels. He used this set for the celebrated party at Tranby Croft in St Leger Week, 1890, when Sir William Gordon-Cumming was caught cheating. The scandal was meat and drink to the righteous Souls who gleefully suggested 'Ich Deal' as an apter motto for the Heir to the Throne. Reuben Sassoon had been a member of that gaming party and was, in fact, responsible for issuing the baccarat chips. He had also witnessed the document in which Gordon-Cumming had solemnly pledged himself never again to play cards for money."
