The Gates
The soi on the wedding morning, Nui's drum at the front and Bee's chain across the way: make way, the groom's side is coming; stop, have you brought the ring or not yet? the ring tray is here, the elder carries it himself; the silver gate opens for a hundred baht; and the sin sod, is it all there or not? all there, count it if you like; the golden gate: do you love her or not? I do, here's the envelope; he's through, drum: the two ways to end a yes-or-no question.

THE STORY
The soi off Charoen Krung at nine on the wedding morning, the groom's procession behind Nui's drum and Bee holding a chain across the way: Bee and Jack speak as friends, no particle; Nui speaks to Jack plainly; Master Wichai speaks plainly as the elder of the groom's side.
