When Hero learned that she was now the owner of no fewer than three carriages and eight horses, she turned quite pink, and after struggling for a few moments to express herself suitably, stammered out: 'Oh, Sherry, it is just like K-King Cophetua and the beggar-maid!'

'Sounds to me like a hum,' said her skeptical husband. 'Besides, what's the fellow got to do with us?'
'Only that you made me think of him,' said Hero, smiling mistily up at him.
