Thirty-Fourth Experience

[singout_singout]

Well, yes, my last love affair was with a nineteen year old boy. Why are these people so interested in Harold?

Were you always fascinated with little boys?

[singout_singout]

Oh, Harold was very mature for his years. Very morbid, but a wonderful, thoughtful young man.

What's your name? I am Dame Marjorie Chardin, but you may call me Maude.

[whatizurproblem]

Maude, what is your problem!

[singout_singout]

My problem?

I miss him sometimes. I try not to miss things and people, because 'here today, gone tomorrow', you know. Instead, I just remember and enjoy the times I had. But Harold, I miss sometimes.

I am not sure we ought to tell these strangers anything, Maude. They're most disrespectful.

[singout_singout]

They are, but I'm not ashamed of my past.

If they ask, I won't deny them some kind of answer.

[invisible_anita]

That is very kind of you, to provide answers.

Why do you suppose they are so concerned with private affairs?

[singout_singout]

It appears to be what interests them most. Beyond that, I don't know. I didn't watch a lot of television in my life; it's a sure way to let your brain go rusty.
