You'd go down in the morning
-
-- I have my coffee before I go to work at the Archives
-
and really a coffee, nothing else
-
--and there'd be this rather elderly lady in there,
-
une mémère, comme on dit en fran?ais,
-
and she would be tossing down a petite blancette,
-
which is a little glass of white wine,
-
and she would call the drink her gloria
-
--now,that's mocking the church,
-
because a gloria, what you sing and
-
what other people were singing in the Mass I guess,
-
gloria in excelsis dei or whatever they sang,
