And that’s how we come to decide to go to Californy, on that day Slim lost two jobs.
And you know how Slim was always talkin about Californy, and seemed to hint to Sheila about her comin there with him. I didn’t tell you. but he come from Californy to marry her before he come to get me, and was out there most of the time since he left North Carolina in his boyhood. Well, Sheila took all that and wrapped it up in one package for Slim, like a Christmas present, and said “Let’s use that hundred dollars in my girdle and go to California. I’ll tell my mother we have to do it and can’t help it. We’ll stay at my sister’s house in San Francisco to start with. Then we can get jobs, there as well as here I guess. What do you think?”
“Baby,” laughed Slim and hugged her, “that’s just what I want to do.”
