B's is already a good hand with the quatorze of queens—which he knows must be "good"—a fair chance for the point, and other favourable cards for trick-making. But he discards the ten and eight of spades and the seven of hearts with the hope of improvement, taking in the three remaining cards of the stock.
The two hands are then as follows: A (elder hand) has ace of spades, ace and king of hearts, knave, ten, nine of clubs, and ace, knave, ten, nine, eight, seven of diamonds. B (dealer) has king, queen, knave of spades; queen, knave, ten of hearts; ace, king, queen, eight of clubs, and king and queen of diamonds.
The following conversation may be supposed to take place:
A: My point is 6.
B: Good.
A (shows his diamonds, or says,—in diamonds; and then adds): My best sequence in the quint to the knave of diamonds.
B: Good.
A: I have also a tierce to another knave (shows knave, ten, nine of clubs, or says,—in clubs).
A: And I have three aces.
