A Woman's Heart
“Some of the drinkers—like Brady and his friend Fergus—were regulars, some were members of the film crew, looking for a congenial place to pass the evening after a long day of work, and still others appeared to be locals drawn to the pub in hopes of mingling with the rich and famous.
