Anyway if he saw her he didn't know he did. In A omcnt. he glided on. It was then that little Mrs. Peter became more worried than ever. You see Mr. Blaclrsnake was going straight toward that precious little nursery ir. the grass. If he kept straight- on he would be sure to discover it. Unless you are a mother you cannot guess how anxious Mrs. Peter was. She stood up on her hind feet that she might bctttr watch Mr. Blacksnake. Woiifd lie turn aside? on, how she hoped he would! He was getting nearer and still going straight ahead. Oh. it only something would turn him aside! Nothing did. Every time he raised his head above the grass little Mrs. Peter shiver":-d.

A lend to- ward the club king would not put south in a commanding -osltion even if he found the ace on side; nor would it do him much good to play out the ace and king of trumps. even it the queen was going to fall (which it wasn't). Thorough analysis convinced South that his best chance was to avoid the loss of any diamond trick. and that, of course, would involve iinding the diamond king under the A-Q. At the second trick South led the singleton diamond from dum- my and boldly Iineascd his own queen. When it held, he cashed the diamond ace, discarding a club from dummy, then ruffed I diamond with the spade king.
