And IIRC "two for his heels" can be claimed by the dealer if a jack is the turned up card.

Of course "two for his heels" means little to a mermaid (to get back on topic!).

A bit late for a correction, but ...
"Two for his heels" is not claimed by the dealer, but by the other player, the one who has cut the cards, revealing the jack.

Just my two-pennorth (that's two old pence, = 1/120 of a pound)
