The very next day, he goes to the restaurant where this young lady works, and she, in a moment of excitement, took him and his wife out to show them the car. It’s the make of car, the color of car, the top was down. Everyone, with a thing like this, would like to know, well, how did she get it? Well, since she did not have a car she has not been visiting her mother. Her mother, knowing the reason for the lack of visits was owning a car, sent her this unexpected gift of money, which she then put down on the new car—the make, the color, and the convertible…the top down. The mother said to my friend—because on Easter day then they drove out to him, and called on him—and said it was really a very selfish gift: “Because I hadn’t seen her as often as I’d like to see her, I gave her the money that would permit her to get the means of seeing me more often, which is a car.” And so, they always justify these things on the level of Caesar. But it was on that level this whole thing started. He gave her what she did not have either the strength or the faith to give herself.274 ¶12
