Chapter 1: Section 4: Page 27: Line 24 (396)

 Babies could be heard in both complaint and celebration.

What in the hell? When did babies become a part of this story?! Does this mean a bunch of these balloons are actually separatist civilizations?! The indication is that the occupants of these balloons are not necessarily youngsters, although, I suppose, teenagers do have children, especially in older times.

Perhaps the mention of babies crying and giggling at sun-up is meant to say how quiet it is otherwise. People waking up over breakfast, having their morning coffees, sitting in quiet contemplation . . . the only disturbance would be those damned babies.

Unless all the lifting and landing of balloons was a sex metaphor earlier! And the babies are a result! This balloon convention is just a gigantic sex orgy, isn't it?! Like an SCA event!
