North continues with the queen of dia- monds and South plays the deuce which West trumpa with the deace of spades. West, the declarer lends a small heart to the dummy's king and returna the four of hearts from dummy, winning in his own hand with the ace. The nine of hearts is then trumped in tummy with the six of spades and the eight of spades returned from dummy, declarer wimming in his own hand with queen.
The eight of hearts is then led and ruffed in dummy with the nee af spades, South discarding the seven of clubs. The jack of din monds is led from dummy. South ean rightfully figure his partner for the Bee of clubs to justify his double. If he disenrds the 10 of clubs, West will drop the five of cluba and North will be in with the ace of diamonds. South's proper | play is to trump the jack of dia mands to prevent West from throw. ing the lead into North's hand, bail even then the hand can be de feated.
