Apparently people tend to be lenient with favorable vul, as in this case N
chose to introduce his H suit. Now my length in H became good asset and I
introduced my S suit. Fred naturally didn't like his hand that much with the
HQ and unattractive shape, perhaps wastes in a 5-5 trump suit so he first
tried to see if he could buy 2S, when South did not comply, he tried another
time and this time it worked.
From South's point of view, they can control all the side suits so he led a
trump against my 3S. That was all I needed to take 10 tricks. +170 and 32/51.

I could bid 4H directly but with S length this might be unnecessary as 3H
might be the limit we can play with 3rd seat opening and we might be able to
buy there.
So I played a little trick by upgrading my hand to close to opening bid by
bidding Drury. When the 4Hx came back to me I surely wasn't very happy and
regretted my choice.
Still North led a trump against the 4Hx and Fred led a S to the K immediately
for the 11th trick. That was +990 and a gify 47.5/51.
