The Wedding Morning
Bee's parents' house in Nonthaburi on the last Saturday of January, the procession up from the pier at a shut gate: the gate is shut, how much to pass? Jack, pay him, I'm the groom; may the gate open; it's open, welcome to the family; may you stay together till you're old and grey; hold a cane tipped with gold; may Bee always win; see, Tee, Jack is faster than you: blessings.
