 The Knickerbocker Bar, beamed upon by Maxfield Parrish's jovial1, colorful “Old King Cole,” was well crowded. Amory stopped in the entrance and looked at his wrist-watch; he wanted particularly to know the time, for something in his mind that catalogued and classified liked to chip things off cleanly. Later it would satisfy him in a vague way to be able to think “that thing ended at exactly twenty minutes after eight on Thursday, June 10, 1919.” This was allowing for the walk from her house—a walk concerning which he had afterward2 not the faintest recollection.
He was in rather grotesque3 condition: two days of worry and nervousness, of sleepless4 nights, of untouched meals, culminating in the emotional crisis and Rosalind's abrupt5 decision—the strain of it had drugged the foreground of his mind into a merciful coma6. As he fumbled7 clumsily with the olives at the free-lunch table, a man approached and spoke8 to him, and the olives dropped from his nervous hands.
“Well, Amory...”
It was some one he had known at Princeton; he had no idea of the name.
“Hello, old boy—” he heard himself saying.
“Name's Jim Wilson—you've forgotten.”
“Sure, you bet, Jim. I remember.”
“Going to reunion?”
“You know!” Simultaneously9 he realized that he was not going to reunion.
“Get overseas?”
Amory nodded, his eyes staring oddly. Stepping back to let some one pass, he knocked the dish of olives to a crash on the floor.
“Too bad,” he muttered. “Have a drink?”
