Here goes!<\/p>\n<p>When sleazebag Humphrey found out the case was going to the Supreme Court, he spotted an opportunity to make even <em>more<\/em> money off of it. He called Peter, who asked for a financial report after getting over his surprise that he was finally talking to Humphrey again\u2014he had rightly deduced that Humphrey was avoiding him. Anyway, Humphrey says he wants to throw a gala in D.C. while they\u2019re all there for the case\u2014a big appreciation banquet\u2014and that he\u2019ll give him a check for his attorney\u2019s fees there. Peter says that\u2019s fine, and the gala is set for the evening of the day when Peter will be giving his oral argument before the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n<p>Oh but there\u2019s one other thing. Peter wants some \u00a0money upfront for airfare and hotel bills, for himself, Gwen, and Professor French. Humphrey says that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI need three tickets and three rooms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK, you need one, who are the others?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI need one for Gwen, she\u2019s my fianc\u00e9 now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally? Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I need one for Professor Charles French from the University of Michigan. He has argued over thirty cases in the Supreme Court and has been helping me with this one for free. I really need him for the final preparations. And he\u2019s going to sit with me in oral argument and kick me under the table if I do anything wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOK. Another ticket from Michigan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo will that be two rooms or three?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought that the two of you, now that you are engaged\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMr. Humphrey, maybe you don\u2019t remember, but I told you in our first conversation that I am a born-again Christian. It will be three rooms, thank you very much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe that way,\u201d Humphrey said under his breath after he hung up. \u201cYour check just got cut in half.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yes, Farris messed up the dialogue\u2014Humphrey has to have said both \u201cOK. Another ticket from Michigan\u201d and \u201cSo will that be two rooms or three?\u201d But the point remains\u2014Humphrey suggests that Peter should share a room with Gwen since they\u2019re engaged, and Peter is offended. And yet, this doesn\u2019t make him question taking money from Heart for America, even though when they first talked Humphrey claimed\u00a0to also be a born-again Christian. I suppose he really needs the money.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, Humphrey calls Cindy in and tells her to book the hotel rooms and also to contact hotels about setting up the gala. There will be something mailed out to their constituents inviting people to the gala, but only if they paid up\u2014only donors who gave at least $100 would be allowed in the room, with higher tiers for special seating and access. When he tells Cindy to book the rooms and the flights he also tells her that she gets to go too\u2014a fun vacation of sorts. But\u00a0when she asks who will be sharing a room, based on the discrepancy between the number of tickets and the number of rooms she\u2019s to book,\u00a0she learns she\u2019s to share with Humphrey.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As the words of protest were forming on her lips, Humphrey interrupted. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a great way to ensure those large bonuses as well as guarantee your job security, if you get my drift.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So yeah. That happened.<\/p>\n<p>Next Gwen and Peter finally make it to the travel agency about their honeymoon.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>They considered the Caribbean and Cancun, but settled on the more traditional Hawaii.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wait. I thought Peter was strapped for cash, working charity cases like Gwen\u2019s and having to ask Humphrey to send him the money ASAP so he can have things mailed? And Gwen is too broke to afford a lawyer? I mean in theory, a lawyer married to a nurse should be able to have a honeymoon as described\u2014but isn\u2019t money a bit tight for these two?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a whole conversation with the travel agent that I won\u2019t bother you with, but the long and short of it is that they chose a private, less traveled area of Hawaii, away from tourist traps or city lights.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt\u2019ll be perfect. Can you give us prices for airline tickets, a jeep rental and two weeks at Turtle Bay?\u201d Peter asked, turning to Gwen for her agreement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s like on those TV shows where the characters are always dropping everything to fly across the country or buy a new expensive something and you have no idea where all this money is conveniently coming from. But then maybe I\u2019m just jealous. Two weeks in Hawaii\u00a0without children sounds amazing.<\/p>\n<p>With that, we\u2019re back to Humphrey, who had his wife drop him off at they airport early so she wouldn\u2019t run into Cindy. But as some readers predicted, Cindy has other ideas. She headed to the office instead of the airport and copied scads of financial documents before the office opened. She put these materials in a mailing envelope and then \u201cleft to spend the rest of the day with her boyfriend,\u201d who is conveniently available during a work day. But hey, whether he\u2019s unemployed or works the night shift or is self employed is really irrelevant, he almost by definition can\u2019t be worse than Humphrey. Good for Cindy.<\/p>\n<p>Gwen and Peter fly into D.C. and meet Professor French for the first time at the airport.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>He was sixty, about five foot six, white haired, with a healthy glow radiating in his face, and piercing steel-blue eyes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course he has a healthy glow. Because he\u2019s one of the good characters. How could he not. Professor French tells Peter to call him Charlie, and all of a sudden that\u2019s what Farris is calling him too. Okay then. The trio rents a car and Charlie gives them a tour of D.C., which Gwen has never visited. When they go past the Supreme Court, Gwen asks to stop, so they park temporarily in a reserved area and walk up to the steps in front of the Supreme Court. Gwen suggests that they pause to pray. Because of course she does.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s at this point that we learn more about Charlie:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cMy wife and I attend a conservative Episcopalian church that believes the Bible is the unchangeable\u00a0word of God, not a negotiable instrument you pick and choose from.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s . . . weird. It\u2019s as though Farris wants Charlie at a mainline church, because he wants to make it clear that Charlie is older\u00a0and established and well respected in his field and in the world, but he also wants Charlie\u00a0to be a born-again Christian, because he\u2019s one of the good guys, so\u00a0he has to be. So we get something strange\u2014an Episcopalian speaking\u00a0evangelicalese. That\u2019s <em>weird<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Peter appreciated the professor\u2019s prayer very much indeed. But it was the prayer of his bride-to-be that really touched his heart. Last May, she was crying, spiritually lost and forlorn in the back parking lot of the Spokane County Courthouse. And now, eleven months later, she was upholding him in prayer sitting in front of the Supreme Court of the United States. God was indeed a mighty God.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>First, this may be the most speedy trip through the courts I\u2019ve ever heard of; it usually takes cases years to make it up to the Supreme Court. But second, Peter, you preyed on a needy and vulnerable woman. Nice going, there. And to be perfectly honest, Gwen seemed to be fine before Peter met her. She was only crying at that moment because her scumbag lawyer lost her case and then tried to coerce her into giving him sexual favors at the exact moment\u00a0her daughter was being put into foster care. Speaking of which, has scumbag lawyer been reported to the bar? I\u2019m pretty sure the answer is no. Nice going, Peter.<\/p>\n<p>At about this time Humphrey is starting to panic about Cindy\u2019s failure to show. He\u2019s in D.C. now, and hasn\u2019t been able to get ahold of her anywhere. Finally he checked his voicemail\u2014last, for some reason\u2014and found that she\u2019d left a message: \u201cI quit. And I\u2019ll get even.\u201d The weird thing here is that Cindy is never portrayed as a Christian. In fact, she\u2019s explicitly portrayed as a <em>not<\/em>-Christian. Humphrey met her working in a bar, and she wears short skirts\u2014that\u2019s \u201cnot-Christian\u201d in Farris language. And yet, she\u2019s doing the right thing here, both in forcefully refusing Humphrey\u2019s overtures and in\u2014well, I guess you\u2019ll have to wait and see what Cindy did with the financial information she copied.<\/p>\n<p>Now we\u2019re at the hotel\u2014the Hyatt Regency\u2014and Charlie and Peter want to talk shop.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>At first, the professor was reluctant to discuss the case in great detail at risk of being rude to Gwen. But she promptly reminded him acts he was the client, and not only was she interested, but she wanted nothing more than the most efficient use of their time so they could be at their best on Thursday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Oh ho, so Charlie\u2019s part of Peter\u2019s sexist old-boys\u2019 club. Fabulous.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it turns out that Gwen\u2019s room is a floor below Peter\u2019s. I initially thought this was\u00a0Farris trying to point out how good, godly, and chaste Peter was\u2014that it was\u00a0not enough for Peter for them to have separate rooms if they were only a few doors away from each other\u2014but then I remembered that Cindy booked the rooms. Maybe it\u2019s a statement about how busy and important the hotel is, that it didn\u2019t have two rooms next to each other available when Cindy booked them, because they were so booked up?<\/p>\n<p>The next morning dawns bright and early and it turns out that\u00a0they still have a full day before the case goes before the Supreme Court. That would make this Wednesday. Gwen heads out for some sight seeing, and Peter and Charlie head to the Supreme Court to watch the two cases scheduled for that morning. Then, in the afternoon, a former student of Charlie\u2019s prepared a moot court session of seven lawyers who had argued a combined seventy-nine cases before the Supreme Court. Presumably they\u2019re all donating their time for free, because with those resumes, I\u2019m assuming their hourly billing is steep, and it says here that they grilled Peter for three straight hours.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Peter soon realized how impossible it would have been without the professor\u2019s tutelage. Peter was, in every way, the least experienced person in the room, but he knew the case best, and he was willing to listen and learn.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is that kind of like parents who refuse to listen to defer to medical experts because they \u201cknow their child best\u201d? At least Farris is aware that Peter is not a constitutional lawyer and that he has absolutely zip\u00a0experience.<\/p>\n<p>When Gwen and Peter get back to the hotel they find a package waiting for them at the front desk. It\u2019s from Cindy Walters. The instructions with it say to open it after oral arguments and before the banquet\u2014i.e., the next afternoon. Peter gives it to Gwen because he says it\u2019ll drive him crazy if it\u2019s in his room, because he\u2019ll want to peek. I was momentarily relieved that it wasn\u2019t Gwen who was saying that\u2014it felt just like the kind of flighty thing Farris would have her say\u2014but then we get this:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[S]he resolved that she would take a quick peek when she got it to her room, just to make sure there would be no unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026\u00a0Gwen glanced in the package, thumbed through a couple dozen pages without removing them from the package. \u201cJust a bunch of financial reports. She\u2019s right. Peter can read these later.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>My <em>god<\/em> Farris, stop keeping Gwen in this constrictive box! Let her character out! She\u2019s a trained nurse, for goodness sake! I\u2019m pretty sure the magnitude of the numbers would have jumped out at her even if she\u2019d found financial documents totally boring!<\/p>\n<p>So then Peter, Gwen, and Charlie have supper, and Peter slept very restlessly.<\/p>\n<p>Can I just say how sick of the men in this book I am? Bill Walinski\u00a0was a sexual predator. Gordon was veering into dangerous stalker territory. Stephen is seeing women on the side, and hiding it from his girlfriend. Humphrey is scamming everyone and was sexually harassing his assistant until she decided she\u2019d had enough and left. Blackburn blackmailed his employees and planned to set off a bomb. Peter pursued\u00a0his client and got her to fall in love with her after telling her he could never date her. Charlie assumes Gwen won\u2019t want to hear or be able to understand talk about her own case, which feels sexist as all get-out\u2014and he expressed no concern at all about Peter dating his client. Stan tried to push Gwen at Peter in a way that made me\u00a0really uncomfortable. McGuire accepted a bribe and lied before the court.\u00a0Wally Elrod took delight in calling Rita \u201cMrs. Coballo\u201d even after she told him it was \u201cMs. Coballo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christ, this list is way longer than I thought. Who is left? Aaron? Joe? I suppose neither of them has done something really egregious, but then, they both overlooked Peter pursuing Gwen, and Aaron was a-okay with a computer investigation that could have been thrown out based on the fact that he wasn\u2019t a neutral third party. I suppose that leaves Officer Donohue and Stephen\u2019s father, but then, we didn\u2019t see much of either of them. Also, I\u2019m suddenly tempted to count and compare the number of male and female characters and make a comparison. Donna, Rita, Gail, Gwen, Lynn, June, Cindy\u2014yep, there\u2019s definitely a deficit. I suppose we could count Lila\u2014but then we\u2019d probably have to count the guy who blew up his truck, too, and Judge Romer\u2014and maybe even Judge Rose.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, back on track\u2014my point is that this book is chock full of shitty male characters. Some of these characters Farris agrees are shitty\u2014they\u2019re practically stereotypes\u2014but others he thinks are a-okay. And that\u2019s really weird to read.<\/p>\n<p>Next week\u2014on to the Supreme Court!<\/p>\n<p><b>I have a <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/lovejoyfeminism\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><b>Patreon<\/b><\/a><b>!
