A fabulous synchronicity as Christmas arrives for both Clyde Griffiths and your humble host, joined this week by his daughter, Ruthie, who has returned to the family manse in Savannah for the holiday season. I catch her up to date on the book and read a bit, as well.

Nobody was expecting hijinks from Dreiser but here we are, enjoying an episode which is little more than a comedy of errors. Clyde has maneuvered the entire Lycurgus social scene to his benefit. It's got the entire Griffiths clan in a tizzy!

Roberta Alden is back in Biltz to visit the Alden clan for the holidays, and what a drab holiday it 'tis. But is it really Biltz homestead that troubles young Roberta's heart or is it the fading romance between herself and that scamp Clyde Griffiths? Impossible for her to say at the moment, but we listeners certainly know that her heart is right to worry.

After chapters of chronicling Clyde's gaiety in the arms of Sondra Finchley, we're returning to Roberta Alden's parochial world. Much depression and anxiety as she attempts to figure out the cause of Clyde's new frostiness. Yes, life is a sad affair but at least we have a murder/suicide to look forward to?

As your host anticipates the US election, he acknowledges the Harris/Walz campaign for their excellence. Of course, your host had no idea at the time of this recording what the results of the election were going to be and so careful listeners will probably sense some optimism, which will soon be punished. As for Clyde, who cares?
