Why play Solitaire alone, darling? As a member of the idle aristocracy, Countess Thalia has oodles of spare time to devote to games of Freecell, Klondike, and Yukon. Her ladyship's best kept secret is how she wiggles the cards that she feels simply must be played, saving you oh so much bothersome scanning. But careful, love, she is rather strict on protocol!
