It was about half way through the night that I saw Jake heading our way. As he drew level with our table, he turned to Sylvia and said,"I notice you h...ave had the courage to get up on the dance floor with the guys from your group, would you do me the honour of dancing the next dance with me?"Sylvia hesitated for a moment then rose from her seat took Jake's hand and he led her onto the dance floor. It caused quite a stir round the hall as the wallflower and the star quarterback made their way. Your wives deserve you, if you are that perceptive." Enid taught me to be a good husband, Jane. I was a brash young idealist journalist when we married; she was a hard-nosed farmer's daughter, and she decided she wanted me, bless her.

A couple of hours later, and many drinks from the free bar, I had a pleasant buzz going on and still nobody to talk to.That's not to say that I didn't start conversations. I did, many of them.

Quite a few ladies tried to prolong their boring conversations with me, but I didn't care and most of the time I just walked away.My boredom lead me up the stairs in that joint to the next floor.
