Saturday I pretty near made up my mind that it would be better for me to not see Miss Chase so when I asked for leave for yesterday I hoped they wouldnât give it to me but they give it to me OK so I had to come or it would look funny. Well I come into the Rice at about 5 min. to 1 and looked around the lobby and they was only one woman that was alone and she was old about 35 and I looked around and couldnât see no girl that looked like they was waiting for somebody, and while I was looking this woman I seen seen me and come over to where I was standing. Well Al I thought sure it was the girlâs aunt and she had heard about our date and was going to raise hâll or something. Well this woman come up and says wasnât I Corporal Keefe. Well I didnât know what to say and I kind of stalled and she says âWas you expecting to meet some one here?â So I said âYes I was looking for a man.â So then she kind of smirked and says âWell I was expecting to meet a man to and I thought you was him.â So I said âNo I guess you have got the wrong bird.â
