I had four girls--actually there were five--and they went to my neighbour's, Frankie Maclnnis over at the road. I was in town getting my hair cut. Lisa must've been in bed because she didn't hear the door. They asked her where we lived and they said, "Oh, we know"--you know, just neighbours. And they couldn't believe that neighbours this close--that we knew each ??other. Because in Montreal, you don't know your next-door neighbour. And they won? dered what kind of people Angus and I'd be like. And they said, "Oh, go over. Knock on the door." And they said, "Oh, God, we can't do that." So they left. So I came home from town and Mary phoned me. She said, "They're driving a van." I said.

So, sure enough, I waited a few min? utes . One of them was opening the van and they didn't know wheth? er they should get out. So I went to the door and I said, "Were you looking for some? body?" "Would Ash? ley be home-?" They knew. I said, "No, Ashley won't be home." "Oh, it's okay, then." I said, "Would you like to come in?" Well, when I did, one pushed the other out of the van and they just came in, tear up the stairs. So they came in. We talked for a little while. One was really shy --or I thought she was shy. They asked could they take some pictures, and they took pictures of everything. Wanted to see his bedroom. One girl said that today was her birthday. So Lisa went down? stairs and she got a nice cap with "Ashley" on it and gave it to her. So, this girl that was shy--"This is embarrassing"--you know--"This is awful. We shouldn't be doing this." And I said, "No, no." So she had her camera and she was just sitting there. I came out in the kitchen for something.
