INTERVIEWER
Did you see Eliot much after the war brought you back to the States?
AIKEN
Only when he paid his infrequent visits here, when we invariably met to get drunk together. There was a splendid occasion when he and I and our wives dined at “The Greeks’” after he’d received a silver bowl from the Signet Society; be was wearing a cowboy hat, and we all got plastered. We went on to the Red Lion Grill, after many drinks at the Silver Dollar Bar, the two toughest and queerest joints in Boston. He couldn’t walk, for his ankles were crossed, so Valerie lifted him into the taxi.
