Object
Backstage Taxi Cab (Lecture Hall Pickup)
A nondescript taxi cab idling at the lecture hall's backstage entrance: a four‑door sedan with an illuminated roof sign, worn paint, and a driver poised at the wheel. The rear door opens for hurried passengers; staff shepherd Samuel Seaborn toward it and the cab driver assists as Sam slides into the back seat, the vehicle serving as an immediate, utilitarian conveyance out of the venue.
