The doors burst open and out streamed a gaggle of men and women, most talking to each other, unaware of us at first. Typical specimens of the two main species of Quakerianus Americanae . For the most part, a group of Friends is a welcome sight to me. I felt myself starting to smile, and glanced reflexively at Eddie, expecting a similar reaction. But his expression stopped me.
