The following captions are written in pencil in Shepard's handwriting [slashes denote line or section breaks]: "BEN AND BROCK/Peacefully sleeping side by side/First thing she saw was a large brass trumpet/reminded them there was nothing for breakfast/After all, had quite a good breakfast/Next year we shall go to Ascot".
