Biker Babe & Granny(PART 3 OF 3)
(waterloo4.jpg)
Hours before his planned marriage to Myra, Roy is suddenly deployed to active military duty in France,
but assures Myra that his family will look after her and safeguard her welfare while he is away.
Subsequently, Myra and Roy’s mother, Lady Margaret Cronin, arrange to meet at a fashionable restaurant; their first introduction to each other.
Awaiting Lady Cronin’s very belated arrival, Myra scans a newspaper and faints on seeing the name of her fiancé Roy in a list of war dead.
Dazed by grief and proffered wine, she relates poorly to Roy’s mother in a session of awkward miscommunication.
She is reticent and apprehensive in the presence of the aristocratic, yet kindly Lady Cronin and does not disclose her knowledge of Roy’s reported death.
Lady Cronin gracefully retreats, baffled by Myra’s behavior.

Unable to find employment, Kitty and Myra face a dire financial situation.
Belatedly, Myra, who believed that Kitty was working as a stage performer, learns her friend has been working as a prostitute to support both of them.
Too proud to reach out to Roy’s mother for help, the heartbroken Myra finds it necessary to join her friend Kitty in the same profession.
A year passes.
While offering herself to departing and arriving soldiers at Waterloo Station, Myra catches sight of an arriving Roy, who is alive and well.
He had been wounded and interned in a POW camp for year.
A reconciliation occurs; a joyous one for Roy, a bittersweet one for Myra.
The couple visit Roy's mother at their estate in Scotland, where Myra, guilt-ridden, is confronted by the impossibility of a happy marriage to Roy.
Her career of prostitution has made her feel she is beyond redemption, unworthy of Roy’s love.
Myra discloses her story to Roy's mother, who is sympathetic, but Myra tells her she cannot do Roy the injustice and then leaves Roy a goodbye note, and goes away 'forever', returning to London.
Roy follows, and with the aid of Kitty, looks for her, finally discovering the truth in the process.
Meanwhile, Myra, depressed, reminiscing on and then traversing Waterloo Bridge, the location where the love affair began, takes her own life by walking into the path of a moving truck.

Ummmm... sounds quite tragic yet interesting. I think I'm gonna borrow the DVD. Kato, why do you think this movie becomes the granny's favorite?
Well ... you see, the granny had to support three children and two in-laws during the difficulties and chaos in the post-war era, and she did that by all means without working on the street like Kitty and Myra.
I see... she feels self-satisfied and assured that she did the right thing whenever she views the movie. Is that all?
No, that's not all. For the granny, Robert Taylor talks to her like her late husband, who is liberal-minded and kind-hearted. So, she seems to be with the late husband whenever she watches the movie.

How romantic it is!
Romance, however, doesn't fill up your stomach.
I'm now quite hungry.
During the summer vacation, Diane enjoyed a mind-blowing duck lunch in a French medieval village.

Diane also enjoyed pasta dinner.

The duck dish looks great, and the pasta seems delicious,
but I'd rather eat some sushi now.
How about you?
Do you like sushi?
I'm sure you do.
Why don't you make California rolls?
I'll show you how to make those rolls.

Now, you know how to do it.
Enjoy it to the hilt.
In any case, I hope Kato will write another interesting article soon.
So please come back to see me.
Have a nice day!
Bye bye ...

Hi, I'm June Adams.
The contemporary version, internationally known as "sushi", was created by Hanaya Yohei (1799–1858) at the end of the Edo period in Tokyo.
Sushi invented by Hanaya was an early form of fast food that was not fermented (therefore prepared quickly) and could be conveniently eaten with one's hands.
Originally, this sushi was known as Edomae zushi because it used freshly caught fish in the Edo-mae (Edo Bay or Tokyo Bay).
Though the fish used in modern sushi no longer usually comes from Tokyo Bay, it is still formally known as Edomae nigiri-zushi.
I like temaki sushi.
It is easy to make.
Here are the step-by-step instructions.
