...lively conversation, sailboats and sports cars whose "constant whirrings down, fussy tuggings, and resumed flight seemed a nuisance rather than a luxury." In a holding pattern over New York, Wills falls into conversation with a stewardess. The talk continues during the ride from the airport, but later the young journalist cannot remember her name.
