1 fewer than
two diamonds
West thought it possible that with diamond shortness, hearts would conversely
there be.
North hadn't splintered, so there too hearts seemed likely.
Perhaps East could ruff a 2nd round of hearts.
It wasn't to be.
With such diamonds and of the auction two keycards outstanding suggested,
and declarer advertising no second diamond to lose and diamonds apparently
dividing no worse than 4:2, a club towards an imagined
A
seemed circumspect and a better than average score expected for not leading
a trump as might have resulted in 5 diamonds, 5 spades and a perhaps 1 heart
ruff and 1 club.
Such petty eagerness met with disillusion when South had not trump spot small
enough for the feat.
"Must be average then."

"Nope...not even" the scoresheet further disillusioned.
