As we was leaveing the boat who should I see right along side of us but

the fare bride and the lordly glum.

We are right on the dot said the glum looking at his costly watch it is

just 9 oclock and so they past out of my life.

We had to wait qite a wile wilst the old man dug up his bill of loading

and got the costly moter.

We will half to get some gas he said I wonder where they is a garage.

No sooner had the words fell from his lips when a man with a flagrant

Adams apple handed him a card with the name of a garage on it.

Go up Genesee st 5 blks and turn to the left or something said the man

with the apple.

Soon we reached the garage and had the gas tank filled with gas it was

27 cents in Buffalo and soon we was on our way to Rochester. Well these

with a knowing wink.

father at lenth.

The time past quickly with my parents in so jocular a mood and all

most before I knew it we was on the outer skirts of Batavia.

coyly.

My mother forced a smile and it was about ½ past 12 when we arived in

Rochester and soon we was on Genesee st and finley stoped in front of a

elegant hotel and shared a costly lunch.
