    Sweetie, work really hard on the wedding night. You might be a merry widow by dawn.

    Just cross your fingers behind your back. That will take care of the technicalities.

    Even with the light on the groom’s back, the bride still could barely look at him.

    The maiden was tearfully led/ by that brute, to the marital bed/ but HER vigor prevailed/ T’was HIS heart that failed/ and by morning the geezer was dead.

    Well maybe not but she likes that I’m paying her parent’s way out of debtor’s prison!

    She knew that if she married him now, he’d be pretty sure the baby was his.

    The Imperial Hall grew quiet, and tension filled the air as The Tsar stared at his niece’s left forearm, which bore an ugly contusion. Finally, his majesty inquired, “My dear, is that a wound caused by one of my hawks? If it is not,pray tell if it is a telltale mark of that sadistic, flightless bird to your right.”

    Unable to give voice to “the unspeakable act”, she deftly reach towards her uncle. With this small gesture she not only avoided grasping the “matrimonial symbol” of the candle, she confirmed the suspicion of The Tsar’s second guess.

    At that moment, all present knew that the wedding had ended. Now they wondered how long The Tsar would let that candle burn, or would He use its’ flame to avenge the honor of his “spoiled” niece?
