I started dealing the first hand and me and Rory folded straight away getting bummed with awful hands while the girls fretted about with picture cards... This is going to be like taking lambs to a slaughter I mouth to Rory. The subsequent hands progress pretty evenly; well that’s what the girls are thinking.
