Linda's hands work absently at the change bucket. She feeds the machine, lifts herself off the stool a bit to grasp the handle, and settles back with her weight on it, like a factory worker heaving open a start-up lever of a large turbine engine. Then, with the lights reflecting in her eyeglasses, she bounces up and down, patting the side of the machine and saying...
