Museum Catalog Note Joe Phenix's Still Hunt: A Romance of the Upper Crust and Lower Crust of New York Life by Albert W. Aiken opens on the Brooklyn Bridge at moonrise. Two wealthy young dudes, Charles Van Tromp and Alexander Clinton, both scions of old New York families, encounter an attractive, well-educated young woman named Flora Muir. She allows them to make her acquaintance, offers them Cuban cigarettes, and arranges to meet them the following morning in Central Park. However, when she mentions her residence in Tannersville in the Catskills, both men become visibly uncomfortable, exchanging meaningful glances. After she departs, they discuss an unspecified past event involving Tannersville that troubles them, though they claim innocence. A stern-faced, muscularly-built man observes the entire encounter from the bridge railing, suggesting a detective narrative framework.
