bet you made last Christmas morning; when will it please you to resign
your authority?〃
〃Oh; bother the bet;〃 says this unscrupulous person。
〃But what do you mean?〃 says Charlie。
〃Why;〃 I say to him; 〃she laid a wager last Christmas Day that you
would not be married within a year。 And now you say you mean to bring
Franziska over on the 4th of December next。 Isn't it so?〃
〃Oh; no!〃 he says; 〃we don't get married till the spring。〃
You should have heard the burst of low; delightful laughter with which
Queen Tita welcomed this announcement。 She had won her wager。
