Tuesday, August 19, 2003 A little later who should come out on the porch and set themselfs ner us but the bride and glum. Oh I said to myself I hope they will talk so as I can hear them as I have always wandered what newlyweds talk about on their way to Niagara Falls and soon my wishs was realized. Some night said the young glum are you warm enough. I am perfectly comfertible replid the fare bride tho her looks belid her words what time do we arrive in Buffalo. 9 oclock said the lordly glum are you warm enough. I am perfectly comfertible replid the fare bride what time do we arive in Buffalo. 9 oclock said the lordly glum I am afrade it is too cold for you out here. Well maybe it is replid the fare bride and without farther adieu they went in the spacius parlers. I wander will he be arsking her 8 years from now is she warm enough said my mother with a faint grimace. The weather may change before then replid my father. Are you warm enough said my father after a slite pause. No was my mothers catchy reply. --Ring Lardner Sr., The Young Immigrunts posted by Jonathan | 1:53 PM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
