...pretty blond woman in a sports car leaned out her window to ask Charlie how to get on the F.D.R. Drive, and he cheerfully gave directions, wondering whether she would have hailed him if she had known his cargo.

"We need to soften the yellow to almost a blond yellow," one mulled aloud, squinting at several fabric squares. A green swatch was rejected by one woman with a disapproving, "That's too much of a bathroom tile shade." Another tan square drew the comment, "Good. It doesn't have any shine, like a brown paper bag." It seemed for a time that no decisions would be reached, but after...
