Assignment — Angelina
“The Galleon Bar was off St. Charles, a businessman's luncheon place decorated with fake beams and yellow-glass ship's lanterns and a half-hearted attempt to instill a pirate atmosphere into the fixtures. Big wooden fans slowly stirred the air around the booths beyond the bar.
Durell walked slowly back toward the booths, which were all occupied, mostly by men. One booth had four women in it. They looked like tourists.
It was noon of the third day since he had found Pierre Labouisse in th...e pirogue, and he felt as if he had stood still while time raced by and he accomplished nothing.
Turning, he walked back to the bar and found a stool. He ordered bourbon from the fat bartender and looked at a very bad oil painting above the racked tiers of bottles on their mirrored shelves. A young man who looked as if he wasn't many years out of college came in and took the stool next to him and looked at Durell's drink and ordered bourbon, too.MoreLess
