St. Francis de Sales and his brother Jean-Francois (also a bishop and living with Francis) were dining together one night.
... Jean-Francois was surprised at his brother's silence. "What were you thinking about?" he suddenly asked.
"Well," replied Francis, "if you want to know I will tell you. I was thinking that there was one lucky woman in the world."
Jean-Francois innocently asked whom he had in mind and suggested some names.
"I'm afraid you don't understand," Francis said smiling. "The lucky woman I am thinking of is the one you did not marry."
