They (1) (met) at a dance at a Jewish centre. “I (2) (had just come) out of the army, and I (3) (was looking for) a
girlfriend,” says Leon. “I (4) (saw) a lovely blonde, with
crocodile shoes. She (5) (was wearing) a white dress and (6)
(had) a fine figure.” “I (7) (did not have) the crocodile shoes
then,” Lilli reminds him. “Well, something struck me,” he smiles. “I (8) (had not danced) with such a beautiful girl before. And all the
other boys (9) (watched/were watching) us.” That was in February 1947. Lilli
and Leon (10) (got) married a very later and (11)
(moved) into what (12) (had been) a storage space before.
