"They was one dame standing aH by herself along the road; if she ever comes to that dear America, her address will be the Follies. I took one flash at her, and forgot what I come to France for, also the rain and Daisy Gartner, which lives up on Lennox Ave. She happened to catch my eye and without no warnin she gimme a smile that removed all the sense from outa my head. 'Alio, Amer-icane!' Amer-icane!' she says. Oh boy! Joe this here is some country and what's a little rain between friends?" There are plenty of laughs, some satire and philosophy and fighting in air and trench to satisfy all and furnish pleasant pastime. |
