“Zeal,”

Zelle, Ray

*The thing I remember and remember is where that fat kid is caught eating out of the candy case. Shades of Uncle Bud!

*made to priest’s specifications, and there are bigger ones at St John’s, and there is no limit, evidently, on size; size being — hell, I don’t know — I’m just trying to fill you in on details as I understand them.

*I have just recently given birth to a Big Catholic Layman by that name — and suppose he’ll have to be renamed.16

* the Trapp family without music, or the awfulnesses we have in the Movement: ice cream and Coke and noise and children at four in the afternoon. The Baptism Party.

= Abigail considered it “immature” of us to go off to Madeline Island without our wives.

= Jackie Gleason apparently is indulging this feeling in his private life. Open house, his friends around him, plenty to eat and drink. What is it?

= Dick Keefe fell farthest, I sometimes think, away from this — whatever it is.

= I have despaired of it myself. But my standards have risen — am not so easily entertained now.

= Don H. is always ready for it. But cannot instigate anything.

= I can — but I want the real thing. Not Hynes in his county agent role.

= Fred Petters is good but compromised by his life — at least he thinks he is.

= Joe O’Connell, yes.

* Maybe I could bring myself to pay you what I owe, in that event.

* Like me.

* Which also applies to Betty.

* Betty, that is.

* Featured with Lawrence Welk.

* Malcolm Muggeridge, if not Martin Green.

* Cribbed from Fr Urban, the hero of my novel.

* Our colors were brown and white, on account of the Franciscans.

* Betty is for Ireland again.

* And sisters, including Carmelites.
