      Már aznap délután együtt golfoztunk. Nyolc labdát elrontott, emlékszem. Nyolcat! Rém nehéz volt rávenni, hogy legalább kinyissa a szemét, mikor beleüt a labdába. De még így is óriásit javítottam a játékán.
      I played golf with her that same afternoon. She lost eight balls, I remember. Eight. I had a terrible time getting her to at least open her eyes when she took a swing at the ball. I improved her game immensely, though.
