Synopsis
Jaka and Oscar exchange niceties in preparation for a party at Pud's tavern. Oscar spends a lot of money softening up the crowd in preparation for his recitation of excerpts from "Jaka's Story." Jaka is upset that Rick told Oscar about her childhood.
Young Jaka discovers her clothing allowance, and uses it to maneuver her way up in the dining room hierarchy - along with some sneaky female trickery.
