Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Splinters, Vol. 48: December Number, 1939
Ted Mason twitched nervously as he tugged at his stubborn necktie. Tonight was the eventful Andover Dance at Rogers Hall. It would be Ted's first real dance at a prep school, and his worried face displayed several scattered cuts from the unskillful use of a borrowed razor.
Pacing back and forth before the mirror of his room, he had practiced the art Of what he considered nonchalance. In his mind he had carefully prepared a course of action to follow throughout the evening.
First, when introduced to his blind date, he must bow slightly and appear just a bit reserved. At the table, however, he would permit himself to loosen up a bit. When the waitress was serving the salad, he could tell those three jokes he had memorized, and then wait for favorable reactions from the admiring young lady.
