Scene the Third. Dinner was over and the happy pair went hand-in-hand toward the transportation department to arrange for their wedding tour. As they passed a bargain counter, the bride exclaimed rapturously:
"O Charlie, I see some lovely bargains over there. Do let me have two dollars."
A moment later the proud husband was watching his wife as with the ease born of long practise she fought her way through the crowd and reached the counter. After a little while she returned waving triumphantly a folded paper, exclaiming:
"Wasn't I lucky? I got the last one they had."
"What is it?"
