I won!!! I can't believe it'" The mentat was nght and I won a Two-Week, All-Expense Paid Trip to Gamoni, Planet of Pleasure, wherever that is. Mothersdu. neSheustm 16. Well 1 went to 'see Mother Cams today and it was very strange-very strange mdeed Said no Said Sister Matilda, the tnp would be too strenuous for a woman of your years My years' I said I'm only fifty-seven aad I've been doing laundry for forty years, and tile chief laundress for die last eight and you can't be all that weak if you can do that. Then I told her just how much wash there was to be toted around I promised to take Sister Bertha with me, so Mother said we could keep an eye on one another Then she said something about innocence being the best protection and sent me off Glensdu neSheustim 25 I've been so busy I've really neglected my diary A lot to catch up on First, I'm wriUng this from Gamont, which is a very odd place When we got off the ship, there was a wire fence between us and a line marked "Departures," and over on the other side were some Sardaukars of Salvation playing music and handing out pamphlets and passing the tambour I was going to give them a dona uon and get some religious reading tor the quiet times, but apparently the law allows them only to talk to a person going home, not one coming m Then we went outside, and people were singing and natives were putting strings of beads around everyone s neck These beads are to pay for things on Gamont, you just pop one off and use it like money A very pretty little boy came running over to me and Bertha and said are you from Wallach, Sisters Matilda and Bertha7 We said yes and he winked and handed us two brown envelopes We looked inside and, goodness, the neck laces must have had two hundred beads on mem Later a man said, "Hey you're Bene Gessent " And we said that's nght, how did you know7 He said the B G & always get their beads m plain envelopes I don't think I'll ever spend all my beads-I mean, how much can one person eat and drink? Maybe souvenirs for the sisters m the laundry Twosday, neSheustim 26 I'm exhausted I woke up when tt was still dark because I could hear someone breathing m bed with me, and I thought "Poor Bertha, she must be homesick," and I said "Now, now Bertha," and I turned the light on But no, it wasn t Bertha but a very handsome young man with a mustache And I said "Young man, get out of my bed immediately'' and I thought, some hotel to make a mistake like that1 Well, I guess I woke up Bertha, too, and she screamed because there was a man in her bed, and my young man said, "But I am your guide to the pleasures of Gamout," and I said it was too dark to see anything on Gamont Then I called the manager and things got straightened out He said Ahmed GAMONT 263 and Pol (the boys) would be available in the morning to take us sightseeing.
