    Summary

    The basement used to be the Tremont’s room in its glorious evening parties, and even now a cluster of chandeliers hung from the ceiling, radiating pale, elegant light. Its wooden floorboards were smooth from its final waxing, and a man was standing there with his arms wrapped across his front, staring straight ahead in dumb, dogged resolution, trembling badly in his shabby coat.
