It’s lovely, dear. Who but you would have thought of having a birthday cake on our wedding anniversary.
Professor
I started to put forty candles: one for each year; but there was no room left for the cake.
Mrs. Ray
I like the idea of three—just three.
Professor
Yes; three birthdays that meant so much in our time together: Teddy, Mary and Paul.
Mrs. Ray
Forty years!
Professor
