Wallingford schemes cafe deal amid ironburg social set
J Rufus Wallingford leads a circle including Dan, Tim Measen, and Vittore Matteo in a cafe venture in Ironburg. Wallingford aims to back a three year management deal with Matteo for a new Cafe Haut as the Grand Opera House potential venue, while Blackie and Henri Dufois navigate money, patrons, and a high society crowd. The opening night features Hickey’s operatic entourage, glamorous tables, and a tense mix of ambition, betrayal, and social leverage.
