The lady does not say so: one presumes it was his partner.

I have, myself, when playing bridge, seen an expression on my partner's face that said quite plainly: "I would like to murder you." I have not the memory for bridge.

I forget who it was that, last trick but seven, played the two of clubs.

I thought it was he, my partner.

I thought it meant that I was to take an early opportunity of forcing trumps.
