Donnie, one of the protagonists eager to enter the oil industry, Theodore Roosevelt, had arrived in Atlantic City.
So the other protagonist, Albert Furr, naturally was also invited by Donnie to Atlantic City the next day.
"You know, Donnie, if it weren't for your invitation, I would never have left Washington. I've been really busy recently!"
Upon meeting Donnie, Albert Furr immediately began to voice his grievances.
Donnie didn't place Albert Furr in the Ritz Hotel, but instead arranged for him to stay in a villa by the seaside in Atlantic City!
In the living room, Donnie pulled out a legal document and a check and placed them on the table.
"These two items, I think, should relieve some of your fatigue, Albert!"
Albert Furr stopped his endless chatter. Although he did not reach out to take the items Donnie had prepared, he still eyed the contents.
The legal document was a contract for the purchase of a $200,000 estate in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
