King, Queen, Knave, More Than One Small

Lead knave, in all suits.

Holding more than two small, follow knave with queen; holding two small, follow knave with king.

King, Queen, Knave, One Small

Lead king, then knave, in all suits.

If king forces ace, or if partner holds ace, the leader, on the appearance of the knave, is marked with queen and one small. If ace is not forced, the presumption is that the leader remains with ace, queen, exactly (see lead from ace, king, queen, knave).
