He felt it was a shame for his wife to miss the great sight, so he went into the bedroom, shook her gently and waited for her to awaken. The woman opened lir eyes and looked into the face of a strange man al tired in fashionable fash-ionable evening clothes. She gave one scream and ducked under the cover.
