:42:00
except that is hard to get
and costs a lot.
:42:02
And that makes it good, Papa?
:42:03
What about the Russians? lt ain't
hard for them to get.
:42:06
Do they like it?
:42:07
Well, can you tie that? Now, ain't
we got the smartest kids?
:42:11
Papa, talk some more.
:42:13
Tell us all about the party, and
don't leave out anything.
:42:17
Oh, that can wait. Here... how's
that?
:42:22
Three dollars. Thera's good wages.
:42:25
And good tips, too.
:42:26
Papa, start. Was there music, and
did they dance?
:42:29
Aw, your mother's got no time for
all that.
:42:33
You could tell me. You used to.
:42:37
Well, it was kind of nice. Klompers,
their best room.
:42:43
And all fixed up with white flowers.
:42:45
There was flowers on the table,
flowers on the chandelier,
:42:48
and even on the floor.
:42:49
And here was a great big horseshoe
table,
:42:51
with lots of people all around.
:42:52
And right in front, a great big
wedding cake,
:42:54
it must have been three feet tall.
:42:56
Why didn't you bring home some of
that?
:42:58
Was the bride pretty?
:42:59
Well, she was maybe not so young,
but the...
:43:02
Oh, sure, she was beautiful, in a
blue dress and all and she had
:43:07
diamonds on her fingers and in her
ears, and she glittered sort of.
:43:11
And when she walked, her dress
swished, kind of.
:43:15
And the champagne just flowed like
water.
:43:17
The smell of it got all mixed up
with the flowers.
:43:20
And the powder the ladies wore.
:43:21
And it made a wonderful new perfume
that oh,
:43:24
made you feel good just
to smell it.
:43:26
Did you sing for 'em Papa?
:43:27
Oh, l was coming to that.
:43:28
l got three encores for my "Wild
lrish Rose" and everybody clapped
:43:33
And then l sang "lrish Eyes are
Smiling" four times.
:43:36
Oh, it musve been awful nice.
:43:37
lt was all right, and when it come
time for them to cut the cake, the
:43:40
band played "Kiss me Again", she put
her arms around him and boy
:43:43
did he look scared.
:43:45
What was he scared of, Papa?
:43:46
Huh?
:43:49
You kids ask too many questions.
:43:51
You heard the story, now go on and
go to bed.
:43:52
lt must be three o'clock.
:43:53
l got a belly ache.
:43:55
Well, lay on your right side.
:43:57
Good night, Mom.
:43:58
Good night, Neeley.
Good night, Francie.
