counts in love with me. At least, one is a count and the other
pretends to be one. It's quite romantic. What is yours?"
"Mine's jolly. I'm a school girl, always up to some trick or other,
and--yes, see here--why in one of my tricks I disclose that the
pretended count who's in love with you is only an organ grinder! Oh,
