 Exercise 11, chapter 10 of Zelle's "Intro Python"
 Jim Mahoney, Oct 30 2006
 
 So far this is only a skeleton of a working program:
 I've set up the structure of a class and its methods,
 along with a loop to test it as specified in the text;
 however, none of the methods do anything (yet) beyond 
 returning the values for the ace of spades.
 
 Code like this is a often a good first step,
 since it lets you plan the layout of the program first
 without dealing with all the details.
