Which excerpt from "lather and nothing else." is the best example of fast-paced narration? the lather was drying on his face. i must hurry. through the mirror, i took a look at the street. “very good,” i answered, turning my attention now to the brush. the man closed his eyes wearily and awaited the cool caress of the lather. meanwhile he was taking off his cartridge-studded belt with the pistol holster suspended from it. he put it on a hook in the wardrobe and hung his cap above it. he leaned back in the chair when he saw the brush in my hand, full of lather. i had not yet put the sheet on him.
