There were rumblings that the second session of the 89th may not be as acquiescent to Lyndon's wishes and whims as this year's Congress...

He rightly guesses that this will give him unlimited access to bored wives and unmatched opportunities to cuckold their husbands. The game is at least as important as the score to Horner, and he especially relishes the sight of husbands forcing their wives upon him under the delusion that he is an innocuous companion...
