Midnight bus - Betty McQuade

BETTY MCQUADE
Midnight Bus
(John D. Loudermilk)
Australia 1961
John D. Loudermilk Quote--
In my hometown of Durham, the Midnight Bus, that's the way the kids used to elope. Now back before everybody had a car and those who either got pregnant or wanted to get married early, they just got on the bus and went down to South Carolina 'cause you could marry at 14 down there. So they'd get on the bus and get married and come back, the next day to tell all their friends, "Look, we're married, ha ha!"
