He and his resilient, but resigned, mother frequent the bar so that the boy may at least get to know his father who comes there every day with his girlfriend, a waitress named Faye Precious. As the years pass, a sort of whimsical accommodation is achieved between these very different people, and the boy grows up divided between avenging his mother for the father's disloyalty and getting back at him for his own hurts, while still trying to win the paternal love and approval he so desperately wants.

Once before she had tried to leave, but couldn't, and she has learned that it is better to shed her pride and keep even a share in the man she loves than to stand on this and have nothing.
