When South hid four hearts, West, who has an unusual hand-only one card in it not being an honour card. with That one backed honours-most naturally hesitates to bid five clubs. His proper de- claration is a double, North passes and while East's band is not very strong, he knows that the declarer has advertised unusual length in hearts and has also said that be has little or no defensive strength, therefore East should assume that i the strength all lies with his rari- mer and the double should be taken as an informatory double.
