Thumper done heard ’em talk about the country club, but he ain’t never go before Mistah Gregarian told him to take Miriam and her girlfriends.
They wanna play tennis, they said, but when they got there, they just sat out and sunbathed by the pool. The real reason they wanna go was to make eyes at the Cuban pool attendants, who was handsome as meerkats. Mr. Gregarian wanted Thumper to accompany them cuz he don’t trust Cubans around his daughter or Spanish-speakers generally or young men at all.
