Ugh! Pass, 2NT, Double, 2spade, 3club - they're all imperfect, but I suppose that a double is the least of all evils. Let's imagine that this sequence would continue with 3diamond from North, 3spade from partner and you raise to 4spade without a great deal of conviction.

How should partner play this contract on clubA, diamondAQ beginning from South?
