pedient resorted to by married men
to keep their wives in doubt regard
ing their whereabouts on the night of
the ball. This usually consists of an
agreement between two maskers to
call out their respective wives.
Not long ago two gentlemen who
had formed similar pact danced
through the night without either of
the ladies suspecting their identity,
when one masker-a doctor-pleased
with the way the scheme was prog
ressing, and seeing his wife glide past
on the arm of his partners husband,
chose to add an additional convincing
note to the deception by exclaiming.
