In Weston's lofty view, work at Bass and Marshall is grinding, trivial and dehumanizing, especially when it interferes with Sam's love for another associate, Camilla Newman...
...they gave a thunderous ovation to this fiery Scotsman whose cheeks were rosy from daily games of golf in the nippy summer wind. "Two hundred years after our American cousins broke free from English domination, we Scottish feel it is time to do the same, and we shall succeed," he concluded with a flourish...
