The death of her husband,
Harry, a native East End Lonaon
er, left Hattie disconsolate. Hope
fully she attended a spiritualist
meetig with the idea of contact
ing her husband. Her delight was
unbounded when the medium said
that Harry was there to talk to
her. But still a bit skeptical, Hattie
ventured, “Is it really you, ‘Arry?”
Doubt faded when a man’s voice
replied in unmistakable cockney
. dialect, ‘It’s really me, ’Attie.”
• Convinced, now, Hattie asked
“Are you ’appy, ’Arry?”
“Very ’appy, ’Attie,” came the
quick reply.
“ ’Appier than you was with me
on earth, ’Arry?” Hattie pressed.
“Much ’appier, ’Attie.”
1 “’Eaven must be a wonderful
place, ’Arry,” Hattie sighed.
"But I’m not in ’Eaven, ’Attie!”
