The Cardturner
“I didn't know what a Shriner was, but according to Cliff, they are people who wear funny hats.

"After going into the tank for ten minutes, he leads a club, giving the declarer a sluff and a ruff! Then, in the post-mortem, he asks me if there was something... he could have done differently. ‘Yes,' I tell him. ‘Play any other card.'" We made our way to the long directors' table.

"This is Lester Trapp," said Gloria. "I spoke to a Harvey Willfolk about a special table." One of the male directors looked up for the first time.MoreLess
