1. "For the first time in his life he went to the theater without feeling bored by the performance; and he passed the night in revelry and debauch." (62).
2. My guess: At the end of the sentence it describes that Lantin was not feeling bored and that he continued his night in "revelry" and debauch. Upon reading the excerpt I did not know what debauch meant. Since the idea of him not being bored is at the beginning of the sentence and the word "debauch" is joined with the word revelry (which means lively or noisy) my guess would be that debauch has a meaning along those lines.
3. Definition: Debauch : To corrupt morally. To lead away from excellence and virtue.
4. I understand now that debauch is used in a negative way. The author is trying to explain that Lantin continued his night steering in the wrong direction.
