Stepping alphabetically and uncertainly from Anna to Bianca, Claire and Debbie, all the way to Zoe, he plays in such exotic surroundings as the Cockney Club (where the bidding is in rhyming slang), a Gauloise-scented club in Paris, and Interview Room D of the local police-station. The characters of the various players are reflected in their bidding and play.
