They are soon joined by Lolly's parents, Celia, a pretty, distracted woman in her 20s, and Dan, an easy-riding adman in his late 40s. Dan and Honey turn...
...life is changed drastically during the highly charged weekend. Circumstances and scratchy pride keep Dan and Honey out of each other's beds. Bill and Dan fight drunkenly but patch things up the next day. Celia is weak and worried as she leaves the farm, but that is the way she arrived. Honey never alters the coquettish mask that covers a considerable intelligence. Anna endures...
