This is where Buddy and his friend go to illegally buy whiskey for their fruitcakes. In this setting there is a new mood, unlike the other, it is suspenseful and there is much tension. In the story it says, " As we approach his cafe (a large log cabin festooned inside and out with chains of garish-gay naked light bulbs and standing by the river's muddy edge under the shade of river trees where moss drifts through the branches like gray mist) our steps slow down."
