{{quote| '''Nathan:''' Of course we'll get married, sooner or later.<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Nathan, after fourteen years it's already too late to be 'sooner', and if it gets much later, soon it'll be too late to even be 'later'. Besides, I don't know what to do anymore about Mother.<br />

'''Nathan:''' Mother? What about your mother?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' There is something I haven't told you ... but my mother, back in Rhode Island, she thinks that we're ... that we're already married.<br />

'''Nathan:''' How could she think such a thing?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Maybe because I wrote to her that we were already married.<br />

'''Nathan:''' That would make her think so.<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Well, in Rhode Island, people do not ''stay'' engaged for fourteen years, they ''get married''!<br />

'''Nathan:''' So how come it's such a small state?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Futhermore, after about two years ... after about two years, we -<br />

'''Nathan:''' We got a divorce?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' We had a baby.<br />

'''Nathan:''' You wrote your mother we had a ''baby''?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Well, I ''had'' to, Nathan. Mother kept after me and after me and finally I just ran out of excuses.<br />

'''Nathan:''' What type of baby was it?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' It was a boy. I named it after you, Nathan.<br />

'''Nathan:''' Thank you.<br />

'''Adelaide:''' You're welcome.<br />

'''Nathan:''' So tell me, what has Nathan Junior been up to all these years?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' Well, right now he's in boarding school. As a matter of fact, I wrote Mother that he won the football game last Saturday.<br />

'''Nathan:''' Wish I'd had a bet on it.<br />

'''Adelaide:''' But Nathan ... That isn't all.<br />

'''Nathan:''' You're not going to say we also have an Adelaide Junior?<br />

'''Adelaide:''' ... All these years, Nathan. Mother believes in big families, and, and we had such an early start.<br />

'''Nathan:''' Just give me the grand total.<br />

'''Adelaide:''' ... Five.<br />
