 It
is further to Minx Lockridge's complaint that Burt appears, not without
a real embarrassment, at the Capwell mansion, while is celebrated Kelly
Capwell and Peter Flint's engagement. Known by C.C.
Capwell because he calls him by his first name, Burt is forced to ask
this latter to lower a little the volume of the music. Their exchange allows to
present in a different way the fame and the grip C.C. has on the city
and the police authorities, contrary to the Lockridges, their rivals,
caricatured here by the stereotype of the old sour-tempered woman going
in crusade for futilities from an old time.
Conscious
to be only a pawn in the rivalry between the Capwells and the
Lockridges, Burt will certainly visit Minx Lockridge to relate to her,
as dictated by C.C. himself, that he shouted and that C.C. Capwell
trembled.
