...Gordon-Keeble sports car with a top speed of 140 m.p.h. (he has two warnings on his license; the third means suspension). He spends a good deal of time with his children, who are living, breathing catalogues of where the young are at. Jane, 25, the wife of the owner of a mod boutique named Hung on You, favors garish antique clothes.

In Nabokov's idiosyncratic geometry, all three angles are obtuse: Kurt Dreyer, fiftyish, owner of a prosperous department store, is suffused with a jocular egomania; Martha, his 34-year-old wife, beautiful and sybaritic, is dimmed by compulsively romantic restlessness and anticipation; Franz, Dreyer's youthful nephew and employee, is a myopic, precariously balanced bumpkin...
...owner himself looks like a winner, driving a yellow Rolls-Royce or piloting one of his five planes, his blonde second wife often at his side. Lise-Lotte Bybjerg, 22, never has a hair out of place: she uses her Carmen Curler set two or three times...
