Synopsis
After the funeral for Tom Garner, the much-hated president of the Chicago & Southwestern Railway Company, Henry, his elderly secretary, talks to his wife about Tom, whom she despises and blames for the death of 400 men during a strike and for ?kicking out? his wife of many years to make way for someone young and pretty.
