The honour is marked

Sometimes the location of a particular honor is marked from the bidding.

Here South won the §A and returned a club. West did best to win and returned a spade which South won in his hand; ruffed a club, returned to the ♦A, ruffed his last club, back to the  ©K and played all of his remaining spades. As he was about to play his last spade, he had last three cards in his hand, a spade, low heart and ♦10. Dummy had ♦0 and ©AJ. On the play of last spade West had to reduce to two cards and one must have been the ♦K, the other a heart. Declarer discarded the  ♦Q from dummy and led a heart at trick twelve. West followed with a low heart and South hopped up with the ©A. West's other card was the ♦K  and obviously, the ©Q dropped doubleton from East.

Praise the bridge that carried you over.
