brought black coffee?"

She nodded.

"God bless you for it."

"I did something else, too."

"Did you? What?"

"I married you."

He looked at her, dazed, and then at the Professor.

"What's the joke?" he asked.

"There is no joke," said the Professor sternly. "She did it. I tried to
stop her, but she never listens to me."

"Do you mean, Bambi----" he began.

"I mean you told me to go ahead, so I got a license and a minister, and
married you."

"But where was I when you did it?"

"You were there, I thought, but it didn't seem to take. Can't you
remember anything at all about it, Jarvis?"

"Not a thing. Word of honour! How long have we been married?"
