Excerpt from Pavement
The barber took a pair of clippers from the drawer in the mirror stand. There were bottles of alcohol and bay-rum and lotion, and jars of cold cream and vaseline, and two ivory-handled razors on the shelf in front of the mirror.
The clippers munched gently over his neck. Brand looked into the mirror at the man who sat in the next chair. He had a coarse face. He was having his nails manicured. On the other side sat a stout gray-haired man with dark pouches under his eyes.
