"The Old Eternal."

A celebration of friendship, community, and liquor, as two life-companions named Spud and Pinkie meet inside an old air-raid shelter on their property, in an annual "sort of thanksgiving for what we got through at the time."

After dancing to the song "Little Brown Jug," the two women toast the stars as "awfully eternal somehow" while also acknowledging that "we're a bit of the old eternal too."

In Argosy (January 1963), The Wedding Party (1965).
