V.I. Warshawski 04 - Bitter Medicine - Plot & Excerpts
Warshawski 04 - Bitter Medicine Chapter 11 - House Call Burgoyne took me to a small Spanish restaurant he used to frequent in his student days. He was greeted like a long-lost son by the effusive owner and his wife-“So long since we have seen you, Senor Burgoyne-we thought you had moved away.” They handpicked a dinner for us, whose tender presentation made up for deficiencies of taste. When the coffee and Spanish brandy arrived, they finally retreated to other diners and left us to talk a bit. Burgoyne was more relaxed than he’d been in the afternoon. He apologized for his self-absorption and announced a moratorium on medical topics for the evening. I asked him instead about life in the northwest suburbs. “It’s everything they tell you about,” he said, smiling. “Clean, quiet, beautiful, and dull. If the commute wouldn’t be a nightmare I’d move back to the city in a flash. I’m not married, so I don’t care about schools and parks and all that stuff. And I can’t seem to fit into the local social scene.
