LANE: ". . . none of the really good boys--Tolstoy, Dostoevski,
_Shake_speare, for Chrissake--were such goddam word-squeezers.
They just _wrote_. Know what I mean?"
Lane looked at Franny somewhat expectantly. She seemed to him
to have been listening with extra-special intentness.
FRANNY: "You going to eat your olive or what?"
[. . . .]
LANE: "I mean critical essays on Flaubert and those boys are a

FRANNY: "You're talking like a section man. But exactly. . .
I'm sorry, but you are. You really are."
