Slams are so Easy

South 1D 1S 5D P |
   I was South. Once I showed a 4 card Spade suit, partner bid
Blackwood to try for slam. When they bid a Heart slam, West decided to Double and partner Redoubled immediately. I
thought, Wow, that must be some Heart suit to Redouble without my ever having shown Hearts.
  
Partner started arranging their hand to put down as Dummy when I explained that I was the Dummy. "What! I thought
you bid the Hearts first they cried; I bid slam since I had such great support for You". They turned a bit ashen when I
told them I thought we were headed for a Spade slam and I never even showed 1 Heart.
   As
it turned out, partner only had a 4 card Heart suit! Luckily it was 4 honors (hence the Redouble for "my" slam) and when
I tabled 4 card Heart support for them another redoubled vulnerable slam was in the bag. Incidentally, we both had 4
Spades too but that slam would not have made since we were missing some of the high ones!
