Keller couldn’t swear to it, but it seemed to him that you didn’t see as many pay phones as you used to, and he supposed it was just a matter of time before they disappeared. Everybody had a cell phone nowadays. Pretty soon you’d have to have a cell phone.

The sight of this gladdened Keller beyond all reason. There was, he knew, a German word—Schadenfreude—for what he was feeling; it meant experiencing joy through the pain of another, and Keller didn’t suppose it was the noblest of emotions.

Schadenfreude, he could only conclude, was better than no Freude at all.

In Toronto I have still seen a few rare examples of pay phones at the airport, hotels and in the subway (underground) system.
