Lee reads the ad for Peyton's chauffeur.
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.
