Crockett Credentials and a Dinner of Decorum
A New York letter recalls David Crockett’s effort to appear polished at a public dinner with Judge Bowen in which Crockett’s awkward fame dimmed. He suppresses his instincts, behaves with decorum, and wins a formal credential document praised by the judge. Crockett later parades the document as proof of his gentlemanly conduct. In a separate scene at the Hellman house bar, Billy Edwards fights a large Boston guest who damages a painting with a cane. Edwards overpowers the intruder, leaving him unconscious and hospitalized, while Edwards sustains injuries to three ribs.
