They still lived on Murray Hill and still attended the neighborhood Episcopal where Jack wa.s an usher. Mrs. Burden insisted that he go with her to the bartender. He pulled out a chair for Jack. "Glad you could come Burden." Then turning to the bartender again.

Burden said nothing. "Have you over been to the Dove. Mother?" Mr. Burden caught his son's "lanco and laughed. "Your mother doesn't even know what a night club is Jack.

At luncheon he'd fallen asleep while a client of his father was discussing the legal point, of a case and now he was reduced to chasing collar buttons! He wondered if Clem felt woozy. He'd call and find out.
