This time, through siding rather with the wife

Because a fancy-fit inclined that way,

Than with the husband. One wears drab, one pink;

Who wears pink, ask him "Which shall win the race,

Of coupled runners like as egg and egg?"

"—Why, if I must choose, he with the pink scarf."

Doubtless for some such reason choice fell here.

A piece of public talk to correspond

At the next stage of the story; just a day

Let pass and new day brings the proper change.
