I SATTHERg THINKIN6 WHAT WE WERE P&N6 WAS 50 PjntN, IT REMINDED ME Of THE STORY, "BEAUTY ANDTHE BEAST".' I LOOKED AT PEAR MANUEL'S HANDS SO HARD AND WRINKLED WITH HARD WOPR.ANVIGDT THE MOST WONDERFUL FEEUN&, IT ALMOST MADE ME OZ/L.

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL THAT SHE CA^ LOVe TH£ HANDS OF THIS POOR LABOURER WHO MESNT BET MUCH LOVE!'HER &ENTLE AND TENDER LOVE FOR HIM IS EVEN '&R&ITER BY CONTRAST, BECAUSEHE IS SO ROU&H

AND REALLY HARD TO LOVE'

THEN Z LOOKED ATTHAJ REFINED mt-lSH COUPLE AND THOUGHT, "THEY'RE ONLY CONCERNED WITH 1HBK OWN PROBLEMS AHD WANT SOME SELFISH ANSWERS/ THEY NEVER VANCEV ONE DANCE NOR SHARED THEMSELVES WITH WE5E COMMON PEOfiE, AND NEVER EVEN SEEMED TO ENJOY THE MUS/CY.. WAT A CONTRAST BETWeEN US ANP THSM.L THEY PRO&48LY DON'TE^YEN LIKE IT HE'RC/"

THEN I WAS THINKING ABOUT MARIA, MY SECRETARY AND HOW SHE'S 60 TINY AND FRAGILE AND DELICATE AND GENTLE AND LITTLE AND SOFT? I THOUGHT, "All THESE ROUGH OLD LABOURERS, POOR ROUGH HANDS .'• -HOW COULD SHE HAVE SO MUCH LOVE TO LOVE THESE HARD ROUGH LABOURERS/" BUT I THOUGHT, "HOW MUCH MORE THEY'APPRECIATE HER LITTLE TENDER LOVING QENTLE TOUCH AND HER LITTLE SOFT WARM 8CVY THAN THOSE FANCY DANGERS ATTHE SWANKY TOURIST HOTEL, MOST OF WHOM WERE: REALLY ONLY TRYING TO SHOW OFF THEIR OWN MNCIMSAND WEREN'T REAUy CONCERNED ABOUT YOU!" BUT LAST NIGHT AT THE NATIVE CLUB I SAID, "THANK YOU, LORD! THESE POOR MEN REALLY APPRECIATE BEING ABLE TO HOLD HER IN THEIR ARMS'AND TO LEAN THEIR CHEEK UP AGAINST HER'S MEANS EVERYTHING TO THEM, EVEN IF IT'S ONLY FOR A FEW Af/NUTES! THEY FEEL LIKE THEY'VE AT L£AST BEENLOVEPA LITTLE, ESPECIALLY IF THEY FEEL YOU REALL V LOVE THEM AND ARE REALLY AFFECTIONATE AND NOT JUST DOING IT FOR SEX!"

T WINK ALL THOSE LITTLE SIGNS OF GENUINE LOVE AND AFFECTION PEALLYMEAN MORE TO THEM THAN THE WAY THAT WOMAN WAS PUSHING HERS AGAINST MINE, TRYING TO GET ME GOING SEXUALLY / I COULD TELL SHE WAS JUST WING IT FOR HER OWN BENEFIT SELFISHLY BECAUSE SHE WANTED IT'AND SHE JUST LAUGHED LIKE THE DEVIL LIKE SHE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY! dUTSHE WAS JUSTfANClAIG WITH ME FOR HER OWN BENEFIT/SHE DIDN'T ACT THE LEAST BIT AFFECTIONATE!...

I'M COMPARING OUR. WORK WITH THEIRS, WHERE THE DEVIL VOE5/T STRICTLY FOR SELFISH GAIN AND MONEY AND USES IT, AND IT'S NOTHING BUT A SHAM AND A COUNTERFEIT, AN IMITATION OF LOME!
