Wow!

They hadn't seen each other for twenty years.

They were taking the same classes at Ucla.

Jeff Cook became an art dealer;

the narrator, whose name we will not know, is a failed writer.

Their plane to Frankfurt is delayed.

A long time ago, Jeff saved a stranger from drowning on a beach in Santa Monica.

At the time, he was guarding the house of a famous actor whose identity we will discover on page 126. He would like his gesture to have been worth it.

He learns that the survivor runs a gallery in Beverly Hills, manages to be hired by this Francis Arsenault and has an affair with his daughter by chance.
