The Pigman's Legacy

' "It's the Pigman," Lorraine said. "That man is the Pigman reincarnated." ' Four months on in book time and more than a score of years in real time, an older and wiser John and Lorraine are drawn back to Pignati's house to become involved with yet another eccentric, unhealthy geriatric. This time their escapades are not on roller-skates but in an old Studebaker and John's chief peccadillo has graduated to gambling. It would be easy to brand it as the same story but this time there's a mellow tenderness, especially between the two youngsters, and mercifully they find that people can love each other and want to show that love without feeling the guilt that their parents have drilled into them... and that's the Pigman's legacy.
