Butch plays the note again.<\/p>\n
“Here’s comes the bri…,” the children start singing.<\/p>\n
“That’s fine,” says Butch.<\/p>\n
The doorbell rings. It’s the Stephenson family.<\/p>\n
“Mrs. Cameron?” says Millie.<\/p>\n
“Yes. Mrs. Stephenson?” says Mrs. Cameron.<\/p>\n
“Yes,” answers Millie.<\/p>\n
“Come right in, won’t you?” says Mrs. Cameron<\/p>\n
“My daughter,” says Millie, introducing Peggy.<\/p>\n
“How do you do?” says Mrs. Cameron.<\/p>\n
“How do you do, Mrs. Cameron?” says Al.<\/p>\n
“How do you do?” says Mrs. Cameron. Al hands Mrs. Cameron a large gift-wrapped box.<\/p>\n
“There you go,” says Al.<\/p>\n
“Oh my – you shouldn’t have,” says Mrs. Cameron.<\/p>\n
“My daughter,” says Millie to Mr. Cameron.<\/p>\n
“Miss Stephenson,” says Mr. Cameron.<\/p>\n
“Hello,” says Peggy.<\/p>\n
“Hello, Mr. Cameron,” says Al.<\/p>\n
“Meet Homer’s folks,” says Mr. Cameron. “Mr. and Mrs. Stephenson. Miss Stephenson.”<\/p>\n
“How do you do?” says Al to Mrs. Parrish.<\/p>\n
“How do you do?” says Al to Mr. Parrish.<\/p>\n
“Hello, Al!” says Butch.<\/p>\n
“Hello, Butch!” says Al.<\/p>\n
“It’s good you’re here!” says Butch.<\/p>\n
“Mr. Stephenson,” says Mr. Cameron, “Could I interest you in a little punch?”<\/p>\n
“How do you do, Mrs. Stephenson?” says Butch to Millie.<\/p>\n
Peggy glances around the room, not seeing Fred, who is out on the porch.<\/p>\n
“Steady, boy!” laughs Fred, as he tries to light Homer’s shaky cigarette.<\/p>\n
“I heard you were leaving town,” says Homer. “I was afraid you wouldn’t stand up for me!”<\/p>\n
“I’ll stand up for you, kid,” begins Fred.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
