...travelers was an attack by a Latina woman fluent in English and insults. Earlier in the morning, as she talked vehemently in French to a rather sallow-looking artiste, her extreme poise had pleasantly invaded my stupor. Placing her immaculately dressed self to my left, she leaned over the arm of my chair, swept her eyes vertically down my mud splattered clothing and inspected my face solemnly.
