"Eunice," he said consideringly. She paused in the midst of licking a dab of frosting off one finger. "Properly speaking," he said, "it should be 'You-nike-ee'. That's the way Greeks would have said it." "You-niss is bad enough," she told him. "I've always hated my name." "Oh, it's a fine name. It means 'victorious'."
