Sybil Bruncheon's "My Merry Memoirs"…Muriel and Me… Chapter 34, page 612…

September, 16th, 1925… grabbing the last fabulous fun of Summer!!! There's Muriel DeSatnick and me at Coney Island!… on the "Trabant"..or the "Tilt-O-Whirl"… or the "Toss-Yer-Bucket"... whatever. Muriel is wearing that ridiculous fur stole that she made out of a bath mat she "borrowed" from the Charmondely Arms Holiday Hotel & Spa on the corner of Neptune Avenue and Beach Breeze Blvd. The maid chased us seven blocks down the boardwalk screaming in Bosnian, (or was it Montenegran??... whatever!)... and Muriel just laughed and laughed and tried to throw the maid off by tossing $20 bills back at her. Finally after 600 bucks or so, the nice lady must have realized that she had several weeks' salary scattered behind her and went back to retrieve whatever hadn't been picked up by scampering beach goers! Muriel was completely hooched up on the bathtub gin we bought the night before from heartbreakingly handsome Dix Sunnigan, the DeSoto automobile heir who bootlegged as a hobby. His stuff was top-quality though! No danger of going blind or dying from what he bottled. And the olives for our martinis came from a young guy named Vito Corleone down on Mulberry Street. Also very handsome and so polite and classy!... who can resist an Italian with those eyes and that accent? And he always gave me a bottle of his extra-virgin top quality olive oil for my cooking! Amazing people and times... and Muriel! What a character! Better known in Europe as the Countess of Shlongwartzen-Krepstein, she never let her title or her fortune dictate how she treated a waitress or a cabby. Everyone was fascinating to the two of us, unless of course, they revealed they were pompous bores, and then Muriel would ask me to kick 'em downstairs! She'd wink at me and whisper, "Sybil, you do it! I don't want to ruin my good shoes on their ass, and you're just knocking around in those stupid penny loafers!"… and I would!… and we'd laugh and laugh as they'd bounce down two or even three flights!!… good times... ah, good times....
