An Elder for the Groom
Master Wichai's yard on Khlong Bang Luang, Jack at the glue pot with a favour to ask: may I trouble you for a moment? Say it, the glue can wait; Nam and I are getting married; so I heard, the whole river knows; could you please be my elder? I've never been an elder, I only know boats; Uncle Chai says there's no one better; then I'll come, and I'll carry the ring tray myself: asking a big favour.
