THE HANDS.
(B's hand is given above.)
| A's Hand. | Y's Hand. | Z's Hand. | |||
| 6 | ♠ | Ace, 7, 3, 2 | ♠ | Qn, Knv, 10, 9, 8 | ♠ |
| 9, 6, 2 | ♥ | 7, 5, 4 | ♥ | Kg, Knv, 3 | ♥ |
| Kg, Qn, Knv, 10, 9, 8 | ♣ | Ace | ♣ | 7, 6, 4 | ♣ |
| Ace, 8, 7 | ♦ | Knv, 9, 5, 3, 2 | ♦ | Kg, 4 | ♦ |
Z's call for trumps is ill-judged, especially at the score of four-all. The whole club suit is declared against him, as Y, putting on ace, second hand, can have no more. If Z does not call, he wins the game easily.
HAND XXII.
Returned lead, and refusing a force.
A's Hand.
