WA:       20 years ago, Jack Chandler walked this same wharf in Peyton 
          Place, stood outside this same tavern.  In those days he came 
          here for a very special purpose, to meet Leslie Harrington in 
          the rear room to talk business.  A peculiar kind of business.  
          Recently Jack Chandler revisited the Tavern but the owner, the 
          lady in charge, Ada Jacks gave him a cold welcome.  Today, he's 
          decided to try again.  For if he wishes to reclaim Rachel 
          Welles, he must have a friend and an ally in Peyton Place.

Scene 1:  Chandler comes in the Tavern as two men are leaving.  Ada walks 
          over and asks since when Harrington allowed men to drink on the 
          job.  He tells her that he is on his lunch hour and he came in 
          for a cup of coffee.  He tries to cozy up to Ada by telling her 
          that she is still a handsome woman.  Ada makes it abundantly 
          clear that she isn't interested.  She tells him that if he 
          wants to get something to eat to go to the other end of the 
          wharf.  

          Chandler is still sitting at the bar as Norman comes in.  Ada 
          asks Norman why he is not in school.  Chandler observes that 
          Ada is holding out on him.  He didn't know that she had a 
          married daughter.  Norman asks Chandler if by some chance he 
          might be Rachel Welles' uncle.  Chandler introduces himself to 
          Norman and leaves.  

          Norman chats with his mother-in-law.  They talk about Eddie.  
          He says he will see her friday and leaves for class.  Norman 
          asks Ada how she knew him.  Ada claims not to be good with 
          names.  She didn't make the connection.  It was 20 years ago.  
          She didn't recognize him.  Eddie took off right after Rita was 
          born.  Ada says that Eddie was a crumb.  When Eddie left, the 
          trash didn't keep coming around.  She says that is why she does 
          not like to talk to Rita about her father.  Norman says he has 
          to get to class.  She asks Norman not to mention Chandler and 
          Eddie to Rita.

          tells Rita to warm up his coffee.  He reads in the paper that 
          Peyton needs a driver.  Lee says he thinks he will like being 
          Peyton's chauffeur.  They don't get their hands dirty.  They 
          wear gloves.  Rita says Rodney is a gentleman.  He tells Rita 
          to tell Norman to stay away from him.  She asks to be paid.  He 
          pays.  She refuses a tip.  Rita prepares to leave.  Another 
          girl walks up and apologizes for being late.  Lee asks her what 
          her name is.  She only gives him a dirty look. 

Scene 4:  Behind the Colonial Post Inn sign, Rachel talks with to Rita.  
          Rachel says that she needs someone to talk to someone she can

          talk.  Rachel is annoyed that Rita doesn't comprehend the 
          significance.  Rita doesn't understand the importance of this.

          to chop off her head if she didn't entertain him on the way 
          back.  Steven was worried about her because the roads were bad
