Passages: John D. MacDonald's "The Deep Blue Good-By"

A marvelous descriptive passage from John D. MacDonald’s first Travis McGee novel, The Deep Blue Good-By (1964):

Willy Lazeer is an acquaintance. His teeth and his feet hurt. He hates the climate, the Power Squadron, the government and his wife. The vast load of hate has left him numbed rather than bitter. In appearance, it is as though somebody bleached Sinatra, skinned him, and made Willy wear him.
