I like Dave's actual choice, 1NT - it strikes me as a good, practical bid. I would be extremely interested to hear what a good rubber bridge player thought of North's actions - what would North have done had South responded 2diamond to North's 2club? Smile and bid 2heart confidently, presumably. Enough of my prattling - over to Roger.

West leads heart2 to East's ace and a heart is returned. How do you proceed?
