Both NV, you hold 9865-A98-J1053-75 and after partner's strong 2C in first chair:
Pass
2H (showing two controls)
(4D)
4NT
Pass
Your call?

At the table, after considerable thought, responder passed. Dutifully, a diamond was led. Quickly, down four. (Words did follow.)
Declarer's RHO held: Void-Q653-AKQ762-986.
Declarer held: AKQJ732-7-Void-KQJ32.
How might it have all worked out for your partnership or if 2H or 4NT were presumably something else?
TRIVIA question if you want to bother:
Contestants were Kit and Sally Woolsey vs. Steve Robinson and Peter Boyd: who set where?
