“See the tree how big it’s grown,
But friend it hasn’t been too long.
It wah—zint big.”
The Flemish troublemaker Claudy storms into the shelter, singing in the unctuous baritone vibrato of a lounge lizard.
“You are an American.”
“Yes, I am.”
“Word gets around. I know all the American hits.”
A pilgrim with a taste for Bobby Goldsboro. I am speechless.
“Moon river, you heart shaker, wherever you’re knowing, I’m blowing your way.”
“The words are ‘heart breaker, wherever you’re going, I’m going your way.’ ”
“Oh, I know all the words. I am just testing you, American. What’s your name?”
“Jack.”
“Claudy.” He shakes my hand vigorously. I can see in Willem’s face a look of disdain. “I am Flemish.”
“I know. Word gets around.”
“All the pilgrims will be eating dinner tonight at the finest restaurant. You must come eat with us.”
Willem makes one of his faces. I see it. Willem sees that I see it. Claudy sees it, and sees that Willem sees me seeing it.
“Oh, everybody but Willem. He has to call his wife! He does not eat in restaurants! He goes to bed so early! You must come.... Great. Then you will come. We will all be eating at eight.”
