king or queen.

At a reception in Washington, a widow asked a young man to guess her age. “You
must have some idea,” she said, as he hesitated. “I have several ideas,” he admitted with
a smile. “The trouble is that I hesitate whether to make it ten years younger on account of
your looks, or ten years older on account of your intelligence.”
