Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation Page #6

Oh, yes. Biggest in St. Louis.

Oh, boy. | What a ball you must have.

Wait a minute. You know | I don't exactly own the contents.

I didn't mean | you were taking it, darling.

- Well, I- | - You're just being in there, with it!

Yes. Yes.

- Is, uh, Mrs. Hobbs up here with you? | - Yes, yes.

And the children. | Two of them, that is.

- The others will be along in a few days. | - What others?

Well, our two older daughters | and their children.

- You mean, you have got grandchildren? | - Babies, of course.

Well, let me know | how that thing comes out...

if you think of it.

- Oh, Rog.! | - Yeah?

Will you come here a minute?

Yeah.

That's a grandma?

36-26-36 and still operating.

- You stay right here. I'll be back. | - Uh, listen.

How 'bout the rest | of the St. Louis crowd?

Couldn't we sort of all have | a little get-together here someday...

like a bathing suit party?

- You sure you don't mind if they're not all bankers? | - Of course not.

- I like depositors too. | - Oh?

Yes, dear?

- Who's the belly dancer? | - Well, what do you mean, belly dancer?

- She's just a big kid. | - Uh-huh.

That was Humbert Humbert's first report | on Little Goody Two Shoes, wasn't it?

All right, all right. | Well, what's out of order now?

- Brenda's leaving. | - Already?

Come with me.

Turn on the water.

The hot water.

She got it right in the kisser.

That was the last straw.

You-You wouldn't want | to try it just one more night?

One more night, I "tank" I go crazy! | Too quiet, like graveyard.

But everybody told me | it was just like Finland around here.

In Finland, once in a while | at night you hear a wolf.

We can fix that water spout | in the kitchen, you know.

And in Finland, | man do not swear at woman!

I "tank" maybe she go crazy already.

Did you really swear at her?

I've never sworn at a cook in my life.

Well, she said that you did | when you came downstairs this morning.

This morning, when I came- | I never even spoke to her.

I asked the kids how they'd like | a little sun on the beach, and then-

and-and-

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, Peg, I don't know.

I don't know. | Where did we fail?

I can handle the kitchen. | That doesn't bother me.

It's Katey that has me worried.

Do you know that she hasn't | come down for a meal yet?

You think she really | hates us that much?

No. No more than Susan | and Janie did at her age.

- It's those new braces. | - What new braces?

- On her teeth. | - Oh, oh.

Haven't you noticed how | she won't even smile?

- But don't they all have them at that age? | - Hers are new.

She isn't even used to them yet.

But what are we gonna do, honey?

We can't let her go through | the whole vacation in this kind of misery.
