With the famous story about Mark Twain in mind Sunday
morning, the quandary could probably have been resolved neatly
and expeditiously by just sending the missing spare parts across
the street with instructions to return them in fifteen ‘minutes.
When Mark Twain was reproved by his wife for having for-
gotten to put on his tie before calling on a neighbor, he was not
taken aback, but he did take measures. With his customary aplomb,
he fixed things right up, doubtless leaving his wife frothing at the
mouth.
. Dispatching the necktie in a neat little box, by messenger, he
wrote on the cover, “Please look at this necktie for forty minutes
and return to Samuel Clemens.” ;
Having been brought up to consider it bad manners to make
any excuses whatsoever for laxness in housekeeping or personal
appearance, I welcomed a very lovely neighbor to a kitchen which
was clearly going places in a great hurry, or had been struck by a
tornado, with what shreds of social poise it wag possible to gather.
Backing up toward the sink in a nonchalant manner, the stance
concealed the coffee cup, the eggshells, and the dinner plate. left
over from Saturday night's hasty meal.
But it did nothing to conceal the faded bathrobe, and less than
nothing to conceal the patent absence of the China Clippers which
normally pad out a face to a reasonable semblance of a human being.
That’s what you get when the phone rings early in the morning
on Mother's Day, and you practically fall down the backstairs trying
to reach the receiver before the bell stops buzzing.
It is all too easy to stay downstairs in whatever you happen
to have slung on while on the gallop, girding it hastily about you as
you run. And it’s simple enough to snatch a cup of coffee without
benefit of China Clippers, as coffee requires no chewing.
And then there's that article in the Readers .Digest, the one
you promised yourself to finish last night before becoming sleep-
stricken.
And the surreptitious survey ol the A yard to see if the
lilacs escaped the frost.
And that second and bootleg cup of coffee.
! And a dip into the box of Mother's Day chocolates to see if
the assortment included a merciful percentags of bonbons without
nuts. & Y
And where has the time gone, it can’t possibly be that late.
And it’s all too easy to say, “Well, you OUGHT to be ready
~ at any moment, so that if the Queen of England happens to drop
in, she can inspect the kitchen sink and compare it with her own
housekeeping.” Or, “You know better than to come downstairs
minus your equipment.”
And speakigg of chocolates, wonder how many boxes of Mother's
Day chogolates melted in the rural mailboxes during the hot weather
before the cold snap late Friday night?
Hold everything, Mae, here come the Clippers!
