A Waiting Game

William is hung over after a drunken but successful night out with prospective client, wine importer Mr Royce. Some nights later Hester organizes a buffet for a private party and drags along William to serve as barman. One of the guests is Mr Royce, who, since the Fields are pretending to be strangers, takes a shine to Hester and makes a play for her, ultimately following the Fields home.
