2w,

To their relief, they saw Dennis drive around the corner, and they hastily made their way out of the car, almost forgetting their parcels! To this day, they are not sure whose car they were sitting in.

When Margurita returned from Callaghan’s Store, she noticed two cream colored Chev cars parked next to the store. She hastily made her way to Dennis’ car, still not realizing the earlier mix-up. Margurita had been in the store when the girls had transferred the parcels from one vehicle to another. Eileen and Joan pointed this out to their mother, as soon as she got into the car. Margurita only smiled, as she recalled another mix-up like this...

Their neighbour, La Lynn had made plans to go shopping in St. Louis. She had asked Francis Allain to drive her there. He had been happy to oblige as he also had some errands to do in St. Louis. Francis owned a dark colored Oldsmobile. There was also another vehicle similar to this one in the community.

When Francis and La Lynn arrived in St. Louis, he parked the car beside Nellie’s Store. They went in different directions to do their errands. When La Lynn had finished her shopping, she mistakingly got into another vehicle. This was also a dark colored Oldsmobile, which was also parked next to the store.

La Lynn was not one to mince words, and when she had seated herself in the front seat, she took a second look at the driver and commented, “What are you doing in Francois car?”

The driver of the car told La Lynn, “This is not Francois car.” But La Lynn was not convinced. There she sat, without any intentions of getting out.
