and jonesy had called henry from brookline just last month , drunk ( drunkenness was much rarer for jonesy , especially since his accident , than it was for pete , and it was the only maudlin call henry had ever gotten from the man ) , saying that he 'd never done anything in his life that was as good , as plain and simple baldass fine , as what they had done for poor old duddits cavell back in 1978 .
