...although as soon as they become his friends, they must learn to take as well, since he loves to shower them with thoughtful gifts: a favorite delicacy, a dozen fine Majorcan handkerchiefs embroidered with their signatures, a monogrammed cigarette lighter. For a grown man, he is wildly sentimental; every reunion is a ceremonial occasion, every farewell a moment of mourning. In between, there are Temple's affectionate letters, punctuated, illustrated and signed with drawings of himself feeling stupid, say, or disgusted, or raffish. Thus...
...agency that served the meal was Seiler's Caterers, Inc., of Roxbury, the same catering service that handled the previous year's dinner. A similar incident also occurred three years ago at the 25th Reunion Dinner, again served at the Palmer Dixon courts.

...another semi-metaphor for personal experience. The couple reunited, the barge casts off, and Vigo cuts to a very high shot of the barge (from an airplane) which sweeps over it as it sails down river. The shot is a metaphor for their continuing progress, now stabilized by their reunion. At the same time it shows their objective situation--indeed the barge is so fat off that they cannot be seen on it. The shot thus distances us from them as it assures us of their safe progress. Showing their material and their mental situation in one, it lets...
