George tries to goad Honey into listening to the lewd off-stage cavortings of their spouses, but she is locked in some private bomb shelter of her sodden fearful mind, and will not hear.

It successfully does away with the greatest inconvenience of modern air travel: the wearisome warrens of corridors that stretch seemingly for miles out into the windy tundra.
