1:02:03
I wasn't ready for marriage yet,
I was only 18.
1:02:08
But, my daddy was practically
on his death bed...
1:02:11
and wanted to see me took care of
before he died.
1:02:15
Archie Lee had been hanging around
like a sick dog for some time.
1:02:20
And the boys around here
are a sorry lot.
1:02:22
They ask you to the movies and
take you to a stone quarry instead.
1:02:27
You've got to get out of the car
and throw stones at them.
1:02:29
I've had some experiences
with boys...
1:02:32
that would just curl your hair
if I told you.
1:02:34
The experiences
I've had with boys.
1:02:41
Oh, but Archie Lee
was an older fella...
1:02:46
and his business was better
in those days.
1:02:49
He was ginning out most of the cotton
before you put up your gin, remember?
1:02:53
I remember.
1:02:55
Well, I told my daddy...
1:02:59
I wasn't ready for marriage.
1:03:01
My daddy told Archie Lee
I wasn't ready for it...
1:03:04
and Archie Lee
promised my daddy...
1:03:08
that he would wait
until I was ready.
1:03:10
Then the marriage was postponed.
1:03:13
No, not the wedding.
1:03:16
We had the wedding,
my daddy gave me away.
1:03:19
But you said Archie Lee waited?
1:03:21
Yes, after the wedding.
1:03:23
For what?
1:03:32
For me to be ready for marriage.
1:03:35
How long did he have to wait?
1:03:37
Oh, he's still waiting.
1:03:43
We had an agreement.
1:03:48
I told him that on my 20th birthday,
I'd be ready.
1:03:52
That's tomorrow.
1:03:55
And, will you be ready?
