...publishes a "Christmas Book" (not a mere "catalogue," mind you) of its unusal gifts each year. A company spokesman at the Dallas store drawled that, like the blimps, "most of our items are wonderful, marvelous things that everyone in the world would love to own--well, maybe most people...
Norman describes Tom at one point as a man who has "never had an agressive thought in his little mind." That meekness in Tom's character occasionally shows itself in Gottlieb's portrayal, most notably in the first scene.

Long after the Peacock poetry is memorized or forgotten, the pictures will detonate in the mind, like the bizarre conceits of John Tenniel for the Alice books...
