From page 67: "It is a cliche of monstrous proportions to remark that day begins at dusk for the Stork Club, but such is indeed the case, and the daylight skirmishes with pots and pans which have been instigatied by casual customers have been, in actual fact, a mere rehearsal for the tumult and industry which sets in after six in the evening."
