Marie O'Hara is pretty, and Colin, her escort, is falling-down drunk, so it is only natural for the nightclub pianist who is the nameless narrator-hero of this novel to offer help. Even as the trio sways "like a chorus line" through the nighttime streets of North London, the pianist feels drawn to the girl beyond the call of gentlemanly duty. When Marie invites him upstairs for a meal a few days later, his mind fairly boils with mingled hopes and doubts. For though "there was once a time, a golden age, when such an invitation could...
Steve and his trio have played at the 47 Mt. Auburn St. coffee house since January, drawing good crowds with consistently fine music. The three year old group has a truly integral modern sound, sometimes complemented by six sit-ins; and whenever they begin playing exciting things happen--and keep on happening.

A comedy trio of class conscious careerists who are more interested in self-advancement than the good of the group are exposed and punished. A bourgeois, bureaucratic superintendent is lampooned in the hassle that arises from the assigning of apartments. But through it all, the hero and the heroine work at their interior decoration and wait patiently for the fruits of love and Marxism...
