During the wedding reception in the family mansion, the bride's Grandfather
slipped her a $500 bill which she concealed in her glove, since he told her to
keep it for "mad money." By tradition, the couple spent their first night
together in the historic house. The bride's Grandmother saw her sneaking down
the stairs later that night, and asked where she was going. "I left my gloves in
the library, Grand-MaMa, and it's important that I have them."
"Oh, you youngsters!" the Grandmother sighed. "You march yourself right back
upstairs and grab hold of that thing with your bare hands, just as I did your
Grandfather's."
