is supposed to be up there and if she is,
I hope you will give her a warm welcome.
She has been coming here quite regularly

and I want to say to Mr. Chabot, if you
want to know what patience is, wait until
you are married to a man for forty-five
years.

ever, she is sitting up in the gallery
waiting to see when we will adjourn.
