Woollcott, no translation was
necessary. He meant that he
had a total aversion TO the

It's very unlucky to be born

Opening lead: Jack of spades.
The colonel opened the Jack
of spades from the West hand,
South won with the king Of
spades and returned the nine
of clubs for a finesse.
Uncle Throckmorton won
with the queen of clubs and
did some thinking. Clearly, the
colonel had the ace of clubs.
Just as clearly South had the
queen of spades, so there wasn't
much future in the spade suit.
After deep thought my uncle
returned the deuce of dia-
monds. This gave declarer a
diamond trick, but paved the
way for the defeat of the con-
tract. When the colonel took his
ace of clubs he could return a
diamond, and three diamond
tricks would put South down.
Stubborn Partner
Unfortunately for Uncle
Throckmorton, he had q stub
born partner. The colonel
stared at the deuce of dia-
mondS and rasped: mo spades,
young man?"
When the colonel got in with
the ace Of clubs he led another
spade instead of pushing a dia-
mond through dummy's king.
Naturally, South made the
contract and my uncle returned
10 CIVILIAN life.
Today's colonies are a more
flexible breed. They would see
the brilliance of the switch to
diamonds and they would Keep
a fine tactician in the army.
Still, / sometimes wonder
how accurately my uncle gave
me the hand. Perhaps South
had five diamonds and only
two spades. A spade return
would put South down three;
and only a diamond return
would allow South to make the
contract. Neither the army nor
the bridge table is the place
for a man who picks the wrong
time to be brilliant.
