The Invitation
The flat in Khlong San, Nam's card for the cousins on the screen: read it, a card has to be formal; we respectfully invite you to join the celebration; on the occasion of the ninetieth year; respectfully invite is just come, isn't it; on the card, yes, Mum says come and eat; at the pier, at five in the evening; the little word, you don't say it, and Mali; Mali too, she just doesn't know yet: the formal Thai of an invitation beside the plain words it means.
