Troico. Why so, Leno?
Leno. Why then you would not know a piece of ill-luck that has just happened.
Troico. What ill-luck?
Leno. What day is it to-day?
Troico. Thursday.
Leno. Thursday? How soon will Tuesday come, then?
Troico. Tuesday is passed two days ago.
Leno. Well, that’s something;—but tell me, are there not other days of ill-luck as well as Tuesdays?[22]
Troico. What do you ask that for?
Leno. I ask, because there may be unlucky pancakes, if there are unlucky Thursdays.
