In a 1785 dictionary for the regions of Provence and Comté-Venaissin it is recorded that both Sizette, or Sisette, and Quadrette also went under the name Parlaire (from parler, to speak) because players were expected to talk about the cards they held in their hands.Achard (1785), Vol 1, p. 646 & Vol. 2, p. 485.
