For the really lonely individual in the city, life becomes a string of disconnected occasions. Eating by himself in a restaurant he feels conspicuous; he tries to the eyes of other lone diners, himself the subject of other people's conversations, sees a world divided into two groupsthe majority; complacent couples, parties and families, and an envious minority of single people. He takes at the imagined snubs or cursory service of the waiter. He calls for his bill with the coffee, knowing he has no further excuse to put. In a phone booth, he makes a cliffhanger out of the ringing tone, and with relief when it is answered. When his own phone stays silent for a day, he suspects a conspiracy to drop him, and the operator to check his line. At a party, he stays too long, since there is nothing to follow it.
