If you go down to the subways and keep the trains from stopping, they'll give you a twentyfive per cent bonus and if you work a little longer they'll give you time and a half. If you keep your hand on the throttle and your eye on the track, you can forget the men who're walking back and forth above you asking for a decent union and a decent break.

It is neater, smaller, simpler -a workable family play, set against a background of the family boarding house and squeezed into a few weeks' time. In one respect, something has been lost: the characters are no longer so fully and revealingly lived with, hence so expressive or large. In another respect, something has been blurred: there is a lessened thematic sense, and even in a tighter framework, where everything should prove integral, some things are merely episodic or picturesque...
