15/21 I have made forty-nine attempts to get married, and the next time I shall succeed. If it isn't the woman's lucky number too, that's her affair. "I will pay you in Damascus." "All right. Then I will give you the letter in Damascus." "No, no! Get it as soon as possible." "I will." "And give it to me immediately. Then if you like you can stay close to me until I pay you in Damascus." "'The ass is invited to a wedding to carry wood and water, and they beat him with one of the sticks he carried,'" Jeremy quoted. |
