The day Agnes's thirty photographs went missing

So things like that are happening right and left, you know. The guy crossed the street from me, not. I really across just a little ways out of the side. She heard me telling him that I lost about 30 pictures, what I've taken with my camera and everything.

No, I took two, well, three, three. Well, there was about 30 pictures all told in a big bundle. And I come there to play the bingo. and I open up the package and I let all the women folk that I like let them look over my pictures and stuff.

And then I put the pictures on the table what would play the bingo in. And I had a nickel and three pennies of my bingo money. I put them in with with 30 pictures that I had. And we talked and we had ice cream and we had, what you call it, a little coffee and stuff.

And I got up and I went out and I got the place where I took a little money and I took the quarter and I got to take to my room. And I was going to go and sit and drink the pop and stuff.

And I come to my room, and I open up the thing, and I start drinking a little bit. And then I said to myself, where the hell did I put the nickel and the pennies, you know? And then I thought, where I done it, I put it in that envelope with the pictures.

and I looked around and I didn't have the pictures nowhere around and then like a shot I remembered where I left them I forget so much already it's just too bad you know and so I went back there as so as I had my legs yet and I had my new shoes and the manager went and he goes and he puts my shoelaces out himself because the girls that's another story so they haven't got the time to give me give my shoelaces now I can bend down enough you see so I got my troubles with the shoelace so he says that's all right he sat

on his knees he put on his knee and he put the mark so fine so I put the foot back and I looked high and low and I couldn't find the pictures, you know. They took all the stuff off from the table and all that, and they took my pictures, and I didn't have it.

I thought to myself, what the heck did they need them for? I let them see the pictures before, you know, stuff. Well, anyhow, I had little tears in my eyes and I figured I'll go to my room and I'll have a little cry.

There was good 30 pictures, you know, like yours, yours, your car and your things that you sent me, you know, and all that. And they were all there, the 30 pictures, and some of mine, you know. And so I let it go.

And I just lay down a little while and I wiped my tears off a little bit. He says, well, God willing, whatever. They took it, they took it. They must have wanted bad enough that they took all my pictures.

See, here comes the guy across the path where I go. And he says, here's your pictures, Agnes. He went snooping around where they had the different things. You know, she's, you know, Sarah, Sarah, Galvin. There's got different things there, garbage and stuff.

He swooped around there, and he's seen a little spot, and there was all my pictures. So he takes them and brings it over to me. Well, I was plenty happy. Well, I had about four or five ladies already thinking about where's my pictures, and they were trying to look around for them.

Well, I told the one that dishes out the money and all that. So, well, she says, I'm glad that you got him. I figured that somebody will find them and stuff. So I got my pictures. So you see, so then yesterday when Joey was here, I let him look at all the pictures and stuff.
