She s gone, he insisted. Nerve poison kills right now. He s right, Billy Joe, Pheola said softly. I m going numb all over. What did I tell you? Simonetti husked at me. I had enough left to hit him sharply over the temples with a lift. A doctor. With antidote, I snapped. He trotted away. Darlin Billy! she said, and her heart stopped.
If it were allowable to exercise some judgment in using these leads, they might not be open to so many objections; but they are worse than useless unless the partner can depend on their being uniformly adopted. _=The Minneapolis Lead.=_ This is another variation in the leads, which is confined to one combination; that of Ace and any four other cards, not including the King. With strength in trumps the fourth-best is led instead of the Ace, the theory being that the Ace is more likely to be valuable on the second or third round of such a suit than on the first, and that the trump strength justifies the finesse of the original lead. With weak trumps the Ace is led. Some players extend this principle to the Second Hand, and play Ace on a small card led, when holding A x x x x with weak trumps. This is open to the objection that it gives up command of the adverse suit too early in the hand; but it saves many a trick. _=The Plain-suit Echo.=_ This is another device for giving information as to number. When the original leader begins with a high card, the Third Hand should play his third-best if he holds four or more; and on the second round his second best, always retaining his fourth-best and any below it.
