daughter. But she has two small girls, and she is still in mourning dress for her cousin; nor do I know whether she wishes to marry again or not.'
Ismail Effendi answered him in the tone of a vexed commander:
— 'You can bring your influence to bear on your daughter — and since when have girls had a say in the matter of their marriage?! As for her two girls, I count them my own dear daughters. And since you have agreed to this request of mine, in which lies the happiness of you all, I shall present you now with the young woman's dowry before my two friends here present, whom I count as two witnesses. And since I believe that the best of good deeds is the promptest, I shall have the marriage registrar brought to draw up the contract at once — for I mean to marry your daughter tonight!'
The new lieutenant was thunderstruck, and could not utter a word, for the tone in which the mutasarrif had addressed him cut off every path of objection. And after the registrar had come and the marriage been contracted, the qaimmaqam rose, my dears, and the commander of the gendarmerie rose, to congratulate the mutasarrif and the lieutenant together. Thus the two of them had attended the strange celebration and stood witnesses to the marriage contract. Then the mutasarrif ordered his coachman to make ready the carriage to carry his new father-in-law to his house, where he was to wake his daughter from her sleep and bring her to the house of her new husband.

No wonder — for she used Jergens Lotion every day.
And you, madam? Are you satisfied with your hands... and is he satisfied with them?
If the answer is no, then try Jergens Lotion and be astonished at the result.
And he will love them, without a doubt — and he will love you.
