Page 864: Crying At The Academy:

Hal, as the first person narrator, up early, walking the dorm halls, wondering what the snow will mean, hears crying:

"The high wind's moan and doors rattle were worse in the uncarpeted hall. I could hear faint sounds of early-morning weeping in certain rooms beyond my line of sight. Lots of the top players start the A.M. with a quick fit of crying, then are basically hale and well-wrapped for the rest of the day."
