Seating herself at the piano, Connie had essayed a few tunes but no-one seemed inclined to dance and she was reduced to toying with Für Elize [sic].

"Trouble in t-bars. Thinks she's Clara Bow."
[Now, I don't know what "trouble in t-bars" is supposed to mean, at the literal level. One would think it was like "trouble with a capital T" or "trouble in italics," but I find no evidence to support this interpretation of "t-bars" (nor evidence of anyone else using this expression, incidentally). T-bars seem strictly to be the ski-lift thing, and possibly something to do with motorcycles. Still, it has a nice ring to it!]
