Cleopatra ruled as Queen.
At the head of the parade marched

that each player holds four or more
cards in the same suit, in which

ceptions to all general rules Of

that at spade contract one or both
Of his minor suit kings would be

declarer at no-trump, it was ex-
tremely likely that East, who had
shown great weakness by passing
his partners opening bid, could
never obtain the lead and hence
would be unable to lead through his
kings. South's judgment was good,

it had not been for two things.
One trouble was the loss of thou
