The cast, crew and especially the elated Mr. Spratlan basked in the ovation. By night he basked in the admiration of a fashionable audience in the Russell Hotel. The churches basked in the refracted glory of wool wealth. Andy and Farren basked in their newlywed happiness. While on stage, Mercury basked in the love from his audience. After they have basked, the adults begin to walk and fly. In dramatic contrast the United States basked in complete security.
