In trumps it is sometimes right to pass, leaving the chance of the first trick to your partner.
Obvious alterations on account of the trump card are omitted. It is clear that, with ace, king, &c., if your partner has turned up the queen, you should play a small one; and that, with ace, king, knave, if your right hand adversary has turned up the queen, you should play the knave; and so on for other cases.
Ace, queen, knave, &c.
Play lowest of queen, knave sequence.
Ace, queen, ten, &c.
In trumps, play ten, or with cards in sequence, the lowest of the ten sequence.
In plain suits, if strong enough in trumps to lead them, play ten, or lowest of sequence; if weak in trumps, play queen (but see p. [89]).
With ace, queen, ten only, play ten, whether strong in trumps or not.
