The Bidding

• 3-9-5 A4

The bidding, when the hand came up in a tournament, was:

South and Weat passed. North is third hand.

Applause, loud, clamorous, in- sistent. It broke in sudden gusts, now here, now there, and rippled over the entire house. Another tornado as Sheila stood still. Was she going to dance an" encore? Bowing again, a low sweeping, skipping bow. Shella ran off to.. change for the next number. But not before she had seen the man in the front row who was still applauding vigorously...

Shella had seen him! There in correct evening attire, a strange sight in that cozy Httle neighbour hood house, sat Dick Stanley. He was alone.
