_TYPE:_
Well-to-do man with slightly artistic tendencies; the sort that
believes first in money, then in full enjoyment of it. His
philosophy is practical but not too limited to material
considerations; in other words, he talks well on almost any
subject.
_SUBJECT:_
Slightly younger, but of the same breed. The families of the two
protagonists have probably been friendly for two generations.
_APPARATUS:_
A restaurant: one of the more leisurely ones where the dishes do
not rattle but an orchestra makes conversation just as
difficult.
_REMARKS:_
The keynote of the approach is a tacit appreciation of
intelligence on the part of the subject. This sympathetic
attitude is very important. Think it all over carefully, put a
flower in your buttonhole and go ahead.
