In those days seats at his lectures
were at premium because the great
ladies of the Paris social world used to

 That is what happened in this hand-West fails to cover With the queen and the jack holds. NOW the declarer runs off four cluo tricks and West has to surrender 2 spade and a heart to protect his hand.
 Declarer then leads the ten of diamonds from dummy and West wins with the king. If West re- turns a diamond, South will get two diamond tricks on which West will have to let go another heart. Next the declarer will cash the queen of hearts and throw West Tn with the jack. forcing him to lead from his king and eight of spades Into the ace and queen.
