...entertainment during the Stein's visit, an event which at first seems so peripheral that its very prolongation, with Fleur and Bob making repeated moves toward the door, but encountering repeated delays in departure, generates a sort of comical unlikeliness.

Estelle Parsons prepares a special fruit "frappe" according to vegetarian specifications, sips her Manhattan and uses her considerable vocabulary to vent general anger and disgust.
