When the bartender opened it Carl bounced in, slightly dizzy, conscious of the slime of mud on his fraying trouser-ends. The saloon had an air of cheap crime and a floor covered with clotted sawdust. The bar was a slab of dark-brown wood, so worn that semicircles of slivers were showing. The nasty gutter was still filled with cigar-ends and puddles of beer and bits of free-lunch cheese.
When you're in college, college life seems big and all the rest of the world so small that what you want to do as a student seems to be the only important thing in life no matter if what you want to do is only to put a free-lunch sign over the First Methodist Church.
