Connolly then returned to five dia-

diamonds. Then, of all things, with
only three diamonds in his hand,
he bid seven diamonds and held his

adversaries and when there was no
double he believed his partner had
control of the spades; he had the
ace-jack Of clubs. A small spade
was opened from the queen; the
king won in dummy. Connolly then

himself without any, as well. He
