Northeast Airlines Flight 258 left New York's La Guardia Airport at 10:30 p.m., its 31 passengers chafing at the two-hour delay already caused by lowering weather.

...Author Deane tells wittily and without prattling of the quiet adventures she had with her artist husband and two small sons during their stay in an Andalusian fishing village. Without caricature, describing people and not types, the author presents the villagers-the fishermen who starve with grace when rough weather keeps their motorless vessels ashore, the aging, middle-class virgins who embroider napkins by the gross while conducting decade-long engagements, the rich who choose not to be distressed by the poor...
