"Slow. There's a long pull ahead.“ - Bill could brew an excellent pot of coffee, and now he poured a. steaming cup for Jay who accept- ed it gratefully. The two men drew their hard straight chairs to the table, lit cigarettes, and discussed their probiems~ com- fortably ignoring the unwashed dishes, the general contusion in! the kitchen.
