Bridge; its Principles and Rules of Play with Illustrative Hands and the Club Code of Bridge Laws
leader's partner either says "No, I double," or "lead, please."
The conversation is indicated in the following diagram.
| "May I lead? or "I double." |
"Spades," or "I make it Spades." |

When the trump has been doubled the maker says, "I redouble," or "I am satisfied." If the maker is satisfied his partner says, "I redouble," or "I am satisfied." In many clubs the conversation is somewhat changed and abbreviated. "Pass." "Hearts." "I double." "I go over." "I redouble" or "I go back." "Enough," or a rap on the table to signify satisfaction.
TO PREVENT A REVOKE
If your partner refuses to follow suit, always ask, "Have you no (hearts), Partner?" An error may then be rectified, but only before the trick has been turned and quitted or before another card has been led.
SCORING
The score consists of two separate counts: trick score and honour score. The trick score is made by the side winning more than six tricks in a hand. The honour score, by the partners who hold the majority of the trump honours. With a declared trump the honours are A K Q J and 10. At no-trump only the Aces count as honours. Doubling does not increase the honour score.

A Little Slam, winning twelve of the thirteen tricks, adds 20 points to the honour score.
A Grand Slam, winning all thirteen tricks, adds 40 points to the honour score.
Chicane, a hand which is without a trump, adds the value of three honours to the honour score.
Double Chicane, a player and partner having no trumps, adds the value of four honours to the honour score.

THE SCORE
There is no part of the game of Bridge to which I would more urgently request the attention of the player than to a careful consideration of the state of the score. It is useless to attempt to play good Bridge without a knowledge of the score. If you blindly follow rules for making, doubling, and playing, without knowing exactly how many points you require to win the game as well as the number needed by your adversaries, you will needlessly lose many rubbers.
Before you declare the trump look at the score to determine the number of points you must make in order to win the game.
Know the score when you contemplate doubling.
Never lead without knowing how many tricks you must make in order to SAVE the game.
When you are the dealer outline your play to win the game; and if you find it impossible to win the game be sure to SAVE it.
THE DECLARATION
While a few tricks may be dropped in the play of a hand, an unsound make may result in the loss of several hundred points. The importance, both of making the trump to the score and of considering the probability of securing an honour score, cannot be too deeply impressed on the player's mind. This, more than any part of the game, requires the
