I can only see the two candles, and the wicks are an inch long." "Didn't I say so? Give me a coverlet and I will sleep on the sofa here, and do you go to bed. But let me look at it first:"
Judge of my surprise when, two minutes afterwards, I heard this question: "But what has 'Sixtimes' got to do with sleeping with Madame Lambertini?"

I asked her if she was still satisfied with my friend "Sixtimes," and she told me that though the count did not always reside on his manor, she was for all that delighted with him; and said she, "I am too good a monarch to ask too much of my vassals."
