Tom Foster and Noah Webster have been together for three years. In that time, Tom has completed his doctorate, Noah has begun working on his master's, and both men have come into their own as performers. Suddenly international recognition becomes a reality instead of a dream. They even perform at the dedication of a concert hall at the University of Aragoni.<br><br>But it's not all smooth sailing. They still have to battle Noah's Uncle Joe over the division of property he owned with Noah's late father. Tom's father has been distant ever since Tom chose music over law school. And Noah's mother's attitude toward his relationship with Tom leaves something to be desired. With their busy performance schedules, will Tom and Noah be able to make peace with their parents and get a fair deal?

The Performers

Tom had received an invitation to concertize in Trinity Church while they were in Boston and he was looking forward to it. They made two overnight trips to Boston to attend rehearsals of the Handel and Haydn Society. The third trip was for the dress rehearsal and the performance, and they arrived on Beacon Hill a few days ahead of time.


Dr. Ambrose had accepted Mrs. Lane’s invitation and accompanied them on their flight. She’d left her car at their house and had been driven to the airport, along with them, by Bobby. She and Mrs. Lane seemed to hit it off instantly. Tom had managed to schedule a very long rehearsal session at Trinity Church Thursday afternoon, which, coupled with the dress rehearsal at Symphony Hall, left them a little spare time.


They hailed a cab in front of Trinity Church after the rehearsal. When the driver asked for an address, Tom said, “Where can two guys from Florida purchase decent overcoats at a good price?”
