Troico. What ill-luck?
Leno. What day is it to-day?
Troico. Thursday.
Leno. Thursday? How soon will Friday come, then?
Troico. Friday will come to-morrow.
Leno. Well, tha something;—but tell me, are there not other days of ill-luck as well as Fridays?
Troico. Why do you ask?
Leno. Because there may be unlucky pancakes, if there are unlucky Thursdays.
Troico. I suppose so.
Leno. Now, stop there;—suppose one of yours had been eaten of a Thursday, on whom would the ill-luck have fallen—on the pancake, or on you?
