I'd Never Heard of No Herbert Foster

Herbert Foster had apparently picked the joint out of a telephone book and told Alma it was where he spent his weekend evenings. The minute he let Alma know he was rich, he'd lose his excuse for getting away from her on weekends. But what was it that was worth more to Herbert than $850,000? Benjes? Dope women)? I sighed and admitted I was no closer to the answer than I'd ever been.
