"Jake sputtered to a halt as she approached The Mayor's extra-large office door, awestruck at first, then chagrined at being so affected by something so trivial as a big piece of wood. It was twice as tall as her and broad as the span of her reach from fingertip to fingertip. The knob was enormous too, a cannonball in comparison to most, though proportionate to this particular portal. It was a textbook bully tactic, more deserving of disdain than deference. A big door like that was a modern-day drawbridge, a pitiful attempt to intimidate the hoi polloi, its breadth an implication that a mighty and mean force lay waiting to be reckoned with on the other side." (Chapter 7)
