And the air is vibrant with birdsong and the squeak of Jack's squeegee on the windowpane - at least until he uncovers the wrinkled prune of Mort's face. Mort is suffering a decapitating hangover. But he survives - especially when he remembers that last night's excesses included an arrangement for today's picnic with a couple of sorts.
