Literature

Angel-beast A favourite round game of cards, which enabled gentlemen to let the ladies win small stakes. Five cards are dealt to each player, and three heaps formed - one for the king, one for play, and the third for Triolet. The name of the game was la bête (beast). Angel was the stake. Thus we say, Shilling-whist.
"This gentleman offers to play at Angel-beast, though he scarce knows the cards." - Mulberry Garden. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
