The Road - episodes and the context in which the woman is mentioned part 1

P.17 "From daydreams on the road there was no waking. He plodded on. He could remember everything of her save her scent. Seated in the theater with her beside him leaning forward listening to the music. Gold scrollwork and sconces and the tall columnar folds of the drapes at either side of the stage. She held his hand in her lap and he could feel the tops of her stockings through the thin stuff of her summer dress. Freeze this frame. Now call down your dark and your col and be damned."
