It Happened One Night

Hobos on a train

It’s the Depression when you have to pawn a watch to buy gas, when, waiting at a railroad crossing, hobos wave to you from the boxcars, when at a motel you have to say you’re married because you can afford only one room.

The walls of Jericho

A man has to have principles, a man with no job and no money, or he’s no man at all. Peter had deal with Ellie, and he knew that love and business don’t mix.

A shapely leg

Ellie knew how to hitch a ride, having, as she said, “a system all my own,” and it worked like a charm.
