Outside of New York City, in a quaint and ancient-feeling mansion, the place is ablaze with lights tonight.
One luxury car after another leaves New York City, then arrives here, where the servants of the mansion guide them to park their cars in designated spots.
Then one by one, elegantly dressed men and women step out of the cars. They greet familiar friends when they meet them.
Hugh Bancroft, the president of the "Wall Street Journal," is among them. Seeing the people attending the party, Bancroft feels a bit regretful. If he could have his reporters cover the events here, it would surely attract national attention.
After all, the big shots of all New York have basically gathered here.
But such thoughts, Bancroft merely entertains in his mind. Recently, Bancroft's days have not been easy. Previously, under the combined pressure of Rothschild and Al Smith, he ordered the "Wall Street Journal" to publish a critical article about Deep Sea Bank's IPO.
