In these frightening places we paid ten for twins, flies queued
outside at the screenless door and successfully scrambled in, the
ashes of our predecessors still lingered in the ashtrays, a woman?s
hair lay on the pillow, one heard one?s neighbor hanging his coat in
his closet, the hangers were ingeniously fixed to their bars by coils
of wire so as to thwart theft, and, in crowning insult, the pictures
above the twin beds were identical twins. I also noticed that
commercial fashion was changing. There was a tendency for cabins to
fuse and gradually form the caravansary, and, lo (she was not
interested but the reader may be), a second story was added, and a
lobby grew in, and cars were removed to a communal garage, and the
motel reverted to the good old hotel. (II, 16).
