truly unfair and rude, that they'd stood in line longer, that they are

going to complain, but no one listens. The flood of bakebrains

shoves the two girls this way and that, until they are afraid of being

trampled. At last, however, Fawn and Dawn are pitched up like

driftwood at the front cash register, each with credit card in one

hand, moddy in the other.

DAWN: Are you and Adam going to use it tonight?

"Fawn's eyes open wider and she smiles. She taps the crown of

her head, the corymbic plug invisible now beneath her hair."

FAWN (smiling slyly): I've got it all down on this moddy. Who

needs him any more?
