We see him in middle age on a business trip in Boston as he is seduced by a busker into spinning a gorgeous sidewalk dance.

In these pages King reminds us that life's quotidian pleasures are even more glorious because they are fleeting: the outrageous good fortune of a beautiful blue day after a string of gray ones; the delight of dancing when every move feels perfect; a serendipitous meeting.
