As the narrator contemplates Rinehart and his people wearing the dark glasses: "Could this be the way the world appeared to Rinehart? All the dark-glass boys? 'For now we see as through a glass darkly but then--but then--" I couldn't remember the rest" (491). This is part of a Bible passage:
1 Corinthians 13:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Lyrics:
"First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway them to the left, then you sway them to the right
Step around the floor kind of nice and light
Then you twist around and twist around with all your might,
Stretch your loving arms straight out into space,
Then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace.
Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back.
Now that's what I call Ballin' the Jack."
