Mom and Dad were very excited about their dinner. They saw one famous person, the man who used to do the weather on the TV news. Plus they said the food was spicy and very good, which means I would not have liked it one bit. Mom said the walls of the restaurant were painted red and the windows had big velvety curtains on them. It sounded a lot like Augustine Dupre's living room, which would be a very nice place to eat dinner if you were not worried about spilling something on her white carpet. Dad said the restaurant did not have a white carpet on the floor, which was probably a good idea if you don't make people take their shoes off before they eat. Augustine Dupre has a no-shoe rule if you want to walk on her carpet; this is how she makes it stay nice and clean.
