Aurora feels it's a shame they've never engaged in this "modern" activity, while Ana hesitates, feeling that as young ladies of good moral principles they should avoid such shameless places. When Ana leaves the room, Aurora mimics in front of the mirror being asked to dance, at first refusing to dance without an introduction, then ceding. Ana appears with a dress and a hat, saying the dress is new, new: she had it made for the 7th Day Mass when Grandpa Chico died. She leaves again, and Aurora muses that this will be her second great night, the first having been her débutante ball in 1907. They enter the nightclub with the doorman in tow, protesting that unaccompanied woman are not allowed. A half-drunk man appears, apparently the manager, who says to let them in: perhaps they're trying to satisfy their last wish. A waiter says they have no lemonade, but suggests whiskey, and the sisters feel the first brand suggested, Old Dad, is a slight on their ages. The only Scotch the sisters have ever heard of is Tape. The manager comes over, mentions how he rarely sees grandmothers there, and the sisters assume he's speaking of someone else. Their Scotch arrives, and the sisters find the first sip awful, but it gets better on the second, and keeps improving. For dinner they try the house special, "Eight Cylinder Fillet", so named because it's the size of a truck motor. Music beings to play, and the waiter starts to dance the Twist. The sisters imitate him. When the manager appears, he orders the music stopped. He's concerned the old ladies will have a heart attack. Aurora says, "Sister, he called us old ladies." "Old ladies, we'll show him old ladies. Maestro, play the Twist." The sisters attack the manager with taps and purses, to the rhythm of the Twist. Written by Richard Pedicini See less
