Late for dinner, late for engagements; a card game had detained him. The memories became a moving picture screen reproducing scenes in flashes, scenes impervious to the assault of time. Friends, parties, the birth of Hugh, financial pressure, disagreements and the sweet toll of reconciliation. Jim, gay, hopeful, magnetic; Jim, morose, silent. He always dominated the picture with that positive driving force of his, perverse, but a power, nevertheless.
