"Match it!" I cried. "Oh, no! It doesn’t match it. You didn't want that matched. You were mistaken. What you wanted was Turkey red — third counter to the left. I mean, Turkey red is what they use."
My wife looked at me in surprise, and then I told her my troubles.
"Well," said she, "this Turkey red is much nicer looking than what I had. You've got so much of it that I don’t have to use the other at all. I wish I had thought of Turkey red before."
"I wish from the bottom of my heart you had," said I.
