Again the bride sips three times, and the bridegroom does the same, and they are man and wife: they are married. This ceremony is called san-san-ku-do, or "three times three are nine."

Not that I'm a bit proud of finding myself in the midst of a temperature so very distingué though it is more than three times colder than Hayes ever felt it at Humboldt Glacier or Nevenoff at Yakoutsk.
"Well, there's no other way that looks distingué on this sort of stuff; that's the most stylish.
