"Her connecting flight from Chicago to Denver had been delayed by some unspeakable, or at any rate, untold, malfunction of the airplane. . . . There was no one at the gate to answer questions. The lines at the desks were eight miles long, only slighter shorter than the lines at the toilets. Sita Duplip had eaten a nasty lunch standing up at a dirty plastic counter, since the few tables were all occupied by wretched, whimpering children with savagely punitive parents, or by huge, hairy youths wearing shorts, tank tops, and rubber thongs. . . . The airport bookstores did not sell books, only best-sellers, which Sita Dulip cannot read without risking a severe systemic reaction."
