I ask purely as a politeness, for I'm sure that the destination would be 4spade whatever the journey. At the table East bid a direct 4spade but an ill-disciplined North hadn't read the script and competed with 5club. You allow partner the honour of applying the axe and you put spadeA on the table - all following.

Your move.
