the kids and the car are staying here at Aunty's in the meantime. Zeitha's and Alan's wedding was one of the big "society" events of the age. Nothing approaching it in interest since Tiny's wedding which is close to 20 years ago. Marj. took it in and got Mr. Bagley to come out and get her and Bess. Patterson brought her home. I got out of going by having to stay home and mind the kids. They tried to concoct schemes whereby that necessity would be obviated, but I had another strong piece of defensive argument in the shape of a hole in the seat of my good pants, so consequently they decided the nuptials could be celebrated in my absence and still be just as valid and the matrimonial bond just as binding as if I was there along with the ninety nine other guests and the church full of interested populace to witness it and more over I got my hay raked.
