Willie sees a girl at the fair that he'd like to get to know. But there's a catch.
Translation: Arose 515 AM. Worked til 6 PM. Tom called at 7 PM and we walked down to Mike's house and tried to get him to come to Mechanics Building to the fair. He would come so Tom and I went. Got interested in a girl that was there with a lady (her mother or aunt probably) and after several well laid plots, managed to pass her about 10 times. I was afraid to speak to her and I guess Tom was. Walked home. Retired 1230 am.
Remarks: The fair is a rocky show. Most all advertisments. The best attraction was one girl.
Poor Willie was too nervous to talk to her. 80+ years later, I'd have the same problem in the 5th grade involving a boy who sat next to me in math class. I thought he was cute and wrote him a note but I was too nervous to actually pass it over to him. That note sat in my math notebook the rest of the school year.
Some things never change.
