Question

What does the author mean on page 4 in passage2 when he says that sir Kay played his hand like a major and took every trick

Answer 1

Sir kay was not easily fooled.

This is a figurative expression that means that sir kay was not one who could be fooled so easily. From the sentence before this expression, it is stated that sir kay was equal to the occasion based on the fact that lots of eyes rested on him. The expression suggests that he knows every trick and so he was not the kind of person who could be bought over easily.
