Biography: 

When Quentin boards the first of the Boston streetcars he rides during the day, he notes that it full of "mostly prosperous looking people reading newspapers" (86). Specific passengers in the car include a Negro who is wearing "a derby and shined shoes" and holding "a dead cigar stub" - having to sit next to him prompts Quentin to reflect on the relationship between blacks and whites (86). Other passengers are "women with market baskets" and a man in "a stained hat with a pipe stuck in the band" (89). As the trolley moves through the city, Quentin notices that "men in work-clothes" are "beginning to outnumber the shined shoes and collars" (89).
