Jack has been making an effort to put a little more artistry into his renders. This is taking more time to do as Jack has less of it to give. Jack has been out of town, and construction responsibilities grow as the weather improves. In spite of this, Jack has the first instalment of Scene 55 ready, "The Trick is Getting Their Attention" set in the morning of Tuesday, Day 60.
For new readers: The synopsis of the story so far is on page 898 (April 24, 2022), and the beginning of the story is on page 469 (March 17, 2021).

(Ari) I'm very sorry Sophia. Mr. Parlance wasn't in the office yesterday, and is not answering his phone...

(Crawford) It's OK Ari, I'll help Sophia. I'm afraid that Jacques is indisposed indefinitely.
I hope my audience likes the panoramic view out of the window. Jack likes it. Seriously though, this scene is time intensive and the instalments might come more slowly than than you are used to. The name of the law offices is a nod to a golden era motion picture, and the Jacques Parlance character is fulfilling a request made by a member of my audience. Although, I hope that it will be fun for everyone!
Thank you for your patience, Jack.
