The Port Washington meet (pp. 262–264)

quote

Placed at eye-level intervals in the tarp are little plastic windows, archer-slit views of each court from the cold backstage passage. […] ‘You saw that glass; to Schtitt and deLint it’s all a silent movie down here. Nobody heard thing one.’

Context

The backstage optics of the venue: archer-slit windows in the tarp for watching from concealment, and Schacht consoling the vomiting Pemulis with the fact that through the gallery glass everything below is "a silent movie" — the players know they live on the far side of a screen.
