Betty stood at the side of the road; she was having a good time; she danced at the side of the road. A small and rather old car stopped at the side of the road. It was driven by a nice, young man. Betty had a good look in his head. Yes, he was OK.

He drove off, he did not mind that she just wanted to go somewhere or anywhere. He did not mind that she said nothing. But she knew where he was going – to his parents for the weekend.

He stopped the car in front of a house, Betty jumped out, she moved quickly to his side of the car, she picked him up and carried him into the house. His mother was most surprised. Betty jumped up and kissed the parents, it seemed a good thing to do, she jumped twice.

The mother invited her to lunch. This pleased Betty, though she said nothing – Betty never said anything. After lunch the four of them went for a walk to the harbour on the river. Betty danced on the quayside.

This delighted the parents, they were afraid that their son was more interested in boys than girls. But here was someone who didn’t speak and was very small, but was a real woman and could dance. That night Betty taught the only son of the family several things.
