"Because I didn't know any," I said; and this seemed to amuse them both so much that I was afraid they would never get their breath. She looked by and by at her dancing-card, and as soon as she could wipe the tears from her eyes she said, "No; there is no other name there"; and this seemed even a better joke than the other from the way they joined in laughing at it.
She could not tell her father who had said the nice things to her, and their joint study of her dancing-card did not help them out. Her relation to Lanfear, though it might be a subject of international scrutiny, was hardly a subject of censure. He was known as Dr.
