...chanced upon a man who gave me about a 20-mile lift. After the first few minutes of our ride, he exploded into an excited monologue. With only a few pauses, it lasted for the whole 20-mile drive down the narrow, two-lane, cotton-haul highway between Olive Branch and Holly Springs, Miss.

Her specialty was omelets, and for a while she held forth at her own restaurant, the Egg Basket; now she fills in by doing the cooking at the Ginger Man, a fashionable pub near Lincoln Center...
