Our first stop after parking our cars near the railroad tracks was in the bargain store of a local charity, where we politely asked access to a bathroom and were refused. Next we entered the lobby of a large hotel, where we asked for a coffee shop and a bathroom. The doorman said, "You must go to the 20th floor." We weren't up to trying our act at an exclusive restaurant, so we wandered around the first floor and left. From there we went to a second-hand shop, where we more or less blended with the customers, and then on to the upper-scale stores and coffee shops during the lunch hour.
It was prejudice time. Some of the children we encountered stared, pointed, and laughed; adults gave us long, doubting looks. Clerks in stores followed our track to watch our every move.我们 (把汽车停在铁路附近以后) 的第一个停留地点是由一家本地慈善团体经营的廉价商店。在店里我们彬彬有礼地请求使用洗手间，但却被拒绝了。接着我们走进了一家大旅馆的大堂，打听咖啡厅和洗手间在哪里。门卫说：“你们得上20楼。”我们的演技还达不到上高档餐厅一试身手的水平，所以我们在底楼兜了一圈就走了。离开那里后，我们就去了一家旧货商店，在那里我们多多少少和顾客融为一体了。然后我们又到了几家高档商店，吃午饭的时候又去了几家咖啡馆。
这一段时间我们饱受歧视。我们遇到了一些孩子，他们盯着我们看，对我们指指点点，而且还放声大笑；成年人用充满怀疑的目光看着我们。商店营业员紧紧地跟着我们，监视我们的一举一动。
