Remark (Trick 6).—A has now the command of his suit, and four trumps. The adversaries have not shown any particular strength in trumps, either by leading them or by calling for them, though they have had the opportunity of doing both, and A therefore assumes that the trumps are pretty evenly divided, and leads a trump (see pp. [122], [123]). A is not deterred from opening the trump suit because an honour was turned up (see p. [122]).
