I　was　rather　narrow　in　the　hips　and　it's　all　for　the　best　if　we　keep　young　Catherine　small。〃

〃What　else　did　he　say？〃　I　was　worried。

〃Nothing。　I　have　a　wonderful　blood…pressure；　darling。　He　admired　my　blood…pressure　greatly。〃

〃What　did　he　say　about　you　being　too　narrow　in　the　hips？〃

〃Nothing。　Nothing　at　all。　He　said　I　shouldn't　ski。〃

〃Quite　right。〃

〃He　said　it　was　too　late　to　start　if　I'd　never　done　it　before。　He　said　I　could　ski　if　I　wouldn't　fall　down。〃

〃He's　just　a　big…hearted　joker。〃

〃Really　he　was　very　nice。　We'll　have　him　when　the　baby　es。〃

〃Did　you　ask　him　if　you　ought　to　get　married？〃

〃No。　I　told　him　we'd　been　married　four　years。　You　see；　darling；　if　I　marry　you　I'll　be　an　American　and　any　time　we're　married　under　American　law　the　child　is　legitimate。〃

〃Where　did　you　find　that　out？〃

〃In　the　New　York　World　Almanac　in　the　library。〃

〃You're　a　grand　girl。〃

〃I'll　be　very　glad　to　be　an　American　and　we'll　go　to　America　won't　we；　darling？　I　want　to　see　Niagara　Falls。〃

〃You're　a　fine　girl。〃

〃There's　something　else　I　want　to　see　but　I　can't　remember　it。〃

〃The　stockyards？〃

〃No。　I　can't　remember　it。〃

〃The　Woolworth　building？〃

''No。〃

〃The　Grand　Canyon？〃

〃No。　But　I'd　like　to　see　that。〃

〃What　was　it？〃

〃The　Golden　Gate！　That's　what　I　want　to　see。　Where　is　the　Golden　Gate？〃

〃San　Francisco。〃

〃Then　let's　go　there。　I　want　to　see　San　Francisco　anyway。〃

〃All　right。　We'll　go　there。〃

〃Now　let's　go　up　the　mountain。　Should　we？　Can　we　get　the　M。O。B。？〃

〃There's　a　train　a　little　after　five。〃

〃Let's　get　that。〃

〃All　right。　I'll　drink　one　more　beer　first。〃

When　we　went　out
