In Paris, the Americans were obvious. In the train station, they were looking at their watches, pacing back and forth, looking down the track for the train. The French were just standing there. When the train came, they got on. When the train stopped they got off. No wonder they don't get heart attacks.

One would lend all ones support to this observation, if one could only forget all those occasions in which one was left waiting in the lobby of theatres and filmhouses for friends unchained by the concept of time.
