Excerpt from An Eclipse of Memory: A Novel
Jack Oswald was what in common parlance is called a man about' town, and his life was that of many men of means and education. His father had left him a generous fortune. His mother had died when he was a child. Oswald had graduated from Yale, and at college was counted among the most popular men. He had sung on the Glee Club, had been one of the Junior Prom. Committee and played tennis and golf above the average. He had made a senior society, and we find him four years after graduation a member of the brokerage firm of Oswald Van Beuren. In the morning he would appear at the office at a quarter before ten, go to the Exchange for the opening and to execute his orders, at one o'clock he would go to the Down Town Club, take lunch with Ernest Balford or his partner, and after the board closed would either walk up town or take the elevated road to Twenty third Street, thence stroll through Madison Square to his Club. A drink or two, with a game of back gammon or pool, brought the dressing hour and dinner.
