In the dream they are all together at a social of some kind, it is unnamed but familiar high country, spruce and aspensm water running everywhere, creeks, ponds, fountains, more food than a church supper, cooks in those taal cooks'hats carving and dishing it out, barbecued ribs and baked beans, ice-cream cones and sweet-potato pies, presentable girls, many of them distant relatives, each face all but unbearably distinct, familiar though never met before, fiddles and guitars and an accordion and people dancing, and off at the edge of it Kit sees his father alone at a wood picninc table with a pack of cards, playing poker solitaire.
