Read the passage. The crowded diner was bustling with the lunch rush. The parties assembled in the booths huddled over laminated menus, discussing specials and office gossip. As Manny sipped his coffee, something in the doorway caught his eye. Others noticed, too, and soon the din of conversation ceased. The figure hesitated, backlit by the noon sun, holding the door wide. Some people still did not register his arrival. But soon his towering frame caused every diner's chin to tip up in his appraisal, and a collective gasp resounded.
