〃But　thats　really　up　to　your　son　to　decide；　isnt　it？〃　Grady　asked；　raising

his　eyebrows。　The　delicate　gesture　went　oddly　with　the　brows　themselves；　which

were　bushy　and　somehow　savage。

〃Up　to　Danny？〃　Jack　frowned　at　Grady。　〃No；　of　course　not。　I　wouldnt　allow　my

son　to　make　decisions　concerning　my　career。　Not　at　all。　What　do　you　take　me　for？　〃

〃A　dedicated　man；〃　Grady　said　warmly。　〃Perhaps　I　put　it　badly；　sir。　Let　us　say

that　your　future　here　is　contingent　upon　how　you　decide　to　deal　with　your　sons

waywardness。〃

〃I　make　my　own　decisions；〃　Jack　whispered。

〃But　you　must　deal　with　him。〃

〃I　will。〃

〃Firmly　〃

〃I　will。〃

〃A　man　who　cannot　control　his　own　family　holds　very　little　interest　for　our

manager。　A　man　who　cannot　guide　the　courses　of　his　own　wife　and　son　can　hardly

be　expected　to　guide　himself；　let　alone　assume　a　position　of　responsibility　in

an　operation　of　this　magnitude。　He　—　〃

〃I　said　Ill　handle　him！〃　Jack　shouted　suddenly；　enraged。

〃Tuxedo　Junction〃　had　just　concluded　and　a　new　tune　hadnt　begun。　His　shout

fell　perfectly　into　the　gap；　and　conversation　suddenly　ceased　behind　him。　His

skin　suddenly　felt　hot　all　over。　He　became　fixedly　positive　that　everyone　was

staring　at　him。　They　had　finished　with　Roger　and　would　now　mence　with　him。

Roll　over。　Sit　up。　Play　dead。　If　you　play　the　game　with　us；　well　play　the　game

with　you。　Position　of　responsibility。　They　wanted　him　to　sacrifice　his　son。

（　—　Now　he　follows　Harry　everywhere；　wagging　his　little　tail　behind　him　—　）

（Roll　over。　Play　dead。　Chastise　your　son。）

〃Right　this　way；　sir；〃　Grady　was　saying。　〃Something　that　might　interest　you。〃

The　conversation　had　begun　again；　lifting　and　dropping　in　its　own　rhythm；

weaving　in　and　out　of　the　band　music；　now　doing　a　swing　version　of　Lennon　and

McCartneys　〃Ticket　to　Ride。〃

（Ive　heard　better　over　supermarket　loudspeakers。）

He　giggled　foolishly。　He　looked　down　at　his　left　hand　and　saw　there　was

another　drink　in　it；　half…full。　He　emptied　it　at　a　gulp。

Now　he　was　standing　in　front　of　the　mantelpiece；　the　heat　from　the　crackling

fire　that　had　been　laid　in　the　hearth　warming　his　legs。
