Those types of broadsheets were popular, he could tell, as he had three different ones from three different publishers.

I’m not sure I would have been able to refrain from giving him a good slap. No, I would doubtless have contained my irritation because since I reached the age of shaving, I’ve always behaved myself onboard planes, unlike the callow creature I was then. I have limited myself to keeping a firm grip on an open newspaper (of the broadsheet variety, so that there’s no chance of my sneaking a glance out of the windows), either pretending to read it or actually reading it – although without taking in a single word – meanwhile fending off any attempts at conversation (one doesn’t want to become distracted and neglect one’s duty as lookout), demolishing at high speed whatever food is placed in front of me, and all the while clutching some wooden object I’ve brought with me for the purpose, since there doesn’t tend to be any wood – a major oversight – on those flying submarines.
No sé si me habría yo refrenado de soltarme un pescozón. Pero no; bien mirado, me habría contenido sin duda, porque a diferencia del imberbe que fui, desde que me afeito me he comportado siempre a bordo: me he limitado a llevar bien agarrado un periódico abierto (tamaño sábana, para que me impidiera mirar de reojo por las ventanillas), a fingir que lo leía o a leerlo de veras pero sin enterarme de nada, a negarle la conversación a cualquiera que me la ofreciera (uno se distrae y desatiende su misión de vigía), a devorar cuanto me pusieran delante a grandísima velocidad, y a sujetar en la mano algún objeto de madera extraído ex profeso, ya que madera no suele haber —un fallo— en los submarinos volantes.
