In Manhattan to begin a promotion tour for Yardiev cosmetics, she just laughed when asked whether her fiancé-manager, Justin de Villeneuve, had given her a diamond ring yet.

As a companion piece to Factory, the story sharply emphasizes Sheed's overall theme: the harmful consequences of clutching at visions of the past, whether they are mythical but life-sustaining visions like Jimmy's or real but death-dealing ones...
