At Middleton Page #7

---

- Edith. Edith.

- Come on. Come on, George.

- I can't go over there.

- Yes, you can.

Come on.

Come on.

You can't miss this.

Okay, I saw a bird.

I saw a bird.

Edith.

Ahh.

Mm. Thank you.

- Open your eyes.

- Oh.

Open your eyes.

Open your eyes.

Oh, my God. Open your eyes.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I am starting to get

Middleton as intimate.

Oh! No. Really?

So this is the church of Santos

Dominicus Ignatius Aloysius

and my favorite thing about this

place is the reverberation.

Sometimes I just come

in here and I sing.

Amen.

You know?

Jesus.

Stuff like that.

So I'm not a religious person,

but I find it very powerful,

so I come here on the tours.

Just halfway through.

We can just take a break

and, yeah, have a seat.

If... if, you know,

you feel like prayer, pray.

And if you feel just like

cooling off, taking a break,

it's fine to do that.

Just take a deep breath.

Hallelujah.

It's so small.

Compared to what?

On the virtual tour,

it seemed bigger.

Well, there's always Princeton.

And what does that mean?

It just doesn't seem that you

like this place very much.

Well, that's because

I love this place.

Why?

Roland Emerson.

I hear he only works

with upperclassmen.

What? That's bullshit.

Sit back, please.

He's one of the premier linguistic

scholars in the country.

And?

And linguistics is the perfect

foundation for any number of careers.

- Like?

- Like law, business.

So what are you gonna study?

I'm just keeping my options open.

Hmm.

Yeah, yeah, that's a really

strong department.

I'm just saying.

Whew.

How come this...

they put a bench in

front of a tree?

It blocks the view.

- Well...

- What was here first?

The tree was here first,

judging by the girth.

- See that boy over there?

- Mm-hmm.

Ronald.

- He is from Battle Creek, Michigan.

- Mm-hmm.

He will try,

but fail to discover the cure

for restless leg syndrome.

That one over there.

Oh, that's either

Adonis or Samson, right?

One of the two.

He majors in geology and...

see how he's looking up?

- Astronomy.

- Uh-huh.

Which makes him, of course,

a rock star.

Oh.

Oh.

And of course he'll forego

the sciences to write a...

very successful novel entitled

"My Life As a Spirochete."

You know what that is?

Any relation to a parakeet?

Well, it's a parakeet that spied

in the Spanish-American War.

My turn.

Give me one.

The young girl there.

Ah, that is Tessa.

Tessa has just learned

from her parents

that her Rhodesian Ridgeback

named Hedwig has croaked.

He's...

he's movedomorg.

And she's just trying

to consolidate her grief

into, like, 40 characters

so that she could tweet

her sadness to the world.
