Trocadero​

His wife returned from the morning shopping expedition
and called her husband into the room from the garden.
"Frederick," she said heavily, "When you came home last night you
told me you had been to the Grand Hotel with Mr. Wilson.

Why did you lie to me like that."
Hubby groaned. "When I came home last night I couldn't say 'Trocadero.'"
