Tender is the Night Book Three, Chapter Three Summary

A week later, back at the clinic, there is rigmarole. The parents of one of Dick's patients are mad and removing their son from the clinic.
The son had told his parents that he had smelled booze on Dick’s breath a few times, and the father was furious because the son was supposed to be getting over his alcoholism there.
Dick says the son was in for kleptomania, not alcoholism, but the father insists that alcohol is the root cause of his son’s problems.
After they leave, Dick decides he is in fact drinking a bit too much, out of habit, and makes a plan to cut it to half.
When Franz gets back they discuss it, and Franz, seizing the opportunity, tells Dick he want to buy him out.
Dick accepts, knowing, sadly, that he hasn’t been fit to practice in some time.
