Miracle in the Rain Page #4

---

Do you mind if I smuggle this

into Camp Shanks?

I've got a buddy there in charge

of the band, a real professional.

Dixie Dooley by name.

He might help put a lyric to it.

- Do you mind?

- No, you could take it along with you.

Oh, that's wonderful.

Come on, sit down and we'll play.

I've got a whole hour.

But I'll tell you something.

I wish it was an hour and a half.

Hey, here's an old one Aunt Sarah

used to favor when she was in her cups.

I always liked rain.

But I'm gonna like it even more

for introducing us.

I'm terribly fond of rain

myself, Mr. Hugenon.

Are you really?

Oh, yes, it's utterly enchanting.

I'm very partial to snow too.

Isn't it wonderful

how beautiful nature can be?

That's because you have a poetical soul,

Miss Wood.

I suppose I have.

Because I'm terribly fond of sunsets

and things like that.

Sunrises, you know, and moonlights...

...and, of course, I adore the stars.

Stars and...

I don't know what you want me along for.

He certainly didn't ask to have me along.

- Well, I couldn't go with him alone.

- Why not?

Well, I don't know. I just couldn't.

I don't see how you can tell soldiers apart.

They all look alike.

Ruth, there's nobody to feed my birds.

Oh, you said yourself

it wouldn't hurt them. Please.

Well...

...there's no use

in breaking your neck looking.

He probably won't appear.

You know how soldiers are.

Hi, I got lost,

that's why I wasn't here ahead of time.

I'd like you to meet Miss Ullman.

Art Hugenon.

- I'm glad to meet you, Miss Ullman.

- How do you do?

Well, I guess I better be running along.

Nothing doing. I got three tickets.

I don't wanna waste one.

- You didn't know.

- I know everything.

Come on, the theater's one block north

and turn two to the left.

- Oh, Grace, look, there she is.

- Oh, yes, she was very good.

This is where he comes back.

Remember his friend, Bumpy?

He said, "I'm so hungry,

I could eat a horse."

And the waiter brought the horse.

I nearly died.

- Ladies, looking for somebody?

- Oh, thank you, Mr. Hugenon.

- I've had a lovely time.

- I enjoyed it very much.

Well, shall we?

This is the wrong way.

I go in that direction.

- What for?

- So I can take the subway.

It takes me out

blocks from my home.

I go this way. It's been

a very great pleasure, Mr. Hugenon.

- Goodbye, Ruth.

- You can't cut and run like this.

The sun isn't even down yet.

We've got a whole evening

till the clock strikes 9:45.

- Well, my mother's waiting.

- A few hours won't matter, will they?

I've reserved a table in a restaurant

that Dixie Dooley says is the best.

And what's more,

I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse.

I have 70 to 120. I have 70 to 120.
