ROME

ROME from page 11 that he wanted a Coca Cola. And I thought, ‘You just got this magnificent thing from a Pope, and he’s asking me for a damn Coca Cola! It just floored me. Everything did.” Then there was this elderly monsignor from America. “And he asked me to darn his socks. And I darned ‘em. And he put his light on, and he said, ‘This is awful. I will show you how to darn.’”
