...waiting room was small and from couch to couch, filled. There were ladies with nervous lovers; ladies with the makeup and hairstyles of streetwalkers, bored, as if this was but one weekly visit among many; ladies middle aged and unmarried, with sad eyes, perhaps realizing they were losing the strings which bound their lovers: young girls, just eighteen, loud and obnoxious, travelling in hordes, cheering the one in trouble and "we hitched from Boston, only took us four hours," said to no one in particular.
