He had asked her to take luncheon

would never deny her greeting to a

AS to the scoring in bridge, the
game is thirty up, all points towards
the game being scored by tricks
alone.
Each trick above six counts two
points when spades are trumps, four
points when clubs are trumps. six
points when diamonds are trumps.
eight points when hearts are trumps,
and twelve points when there are 40
trumps.
Honors do not count towards the
thirty required to win the game; like

they are reckoned in the score at the
end of the rubber, and their value
can never be doubled. Honors consist
of the ace, king, queen, knave and ten
