I haven't read that one for years, and I may have given away my copy. It's a strange one; good, but pretty uncomfortable.
"Veronicas of apology" almost sounds like a misprint. Can you give me some idea where it is in the book? Maybe I can check my edition if I can find it.
They've just arrived in NY. "Tod" is looking where he's going and therefore running into people. "His bows, his flourishes, his veronicas of apology." It's the paragraph before the one where the people have grown their winter coats. First real page of Chapter 3.
