Hello?

Hi, everything all right?

Yes, I will.

I've been studying since about 7 o'clock this morning, but fine.

And go.

Oh, that's great.

Yeah.

Isn't that great?

Yeah.

Right.

Well, everything's going all right with you, David.

Incidentally, I wanted to tell you I'm going to have Manolo come down with Vena on Saturday to keep his game.

And they'll be there for two weeks.

So if you and David want to get down while he's there, you've got somebody to be with.

He's feeling just fine.

It just takes time to get over it.

Yeah, he's got his crutches now.

Oh my, yes, yes, well, one of those things, one of those things.

As you noticed, I went out across the street yesterday and saw lots of people, tourists, and it was a good idea.

Yeah, yeah, so just to show that nobody's afraid.

Oh, well, no, the television had it last night.

It'll be in papers, too.

And everybody here says it's just great.

I've checked with all sorts of observers.

They say it's the most beautiful of all.

So she ought to be very, very pleased.

Well, yeah.

Well, so far, so far for Peter's Cross.

But we're coming along.

And you may be up Friday or... No?

Oh yeah, then you can come back and see us off Saturday morning.

Well, are you going to be in Philadelphia anyway?

I think probably you ought to come down.

You and Patricia is going to be there, and I think you ought to be there.

Okay?

And do what you like.

Well, so I hope that... Oh, I've gone to the jury.

Yeah.

I will.
