Pamela s Enthusiasm
Was Wasted on John
John felt that he could never#
ask Pamela to be his wife.
True, he loved her as he had
never loved anyone else before,
but then she was an angel, while
he had many little weaknesses of
which no angel would ever approve.
Pamela, on the other hand,
spent her time thinking that it was
high time John popped the ques
tion!
One night he came to the point.
“Pamela, Pamela,” he urged,
“will you marry me?”
“You bet,” she replied briskly.
“I know, darling,” he answered,
ashamed. “But if you’ll only say
‘Yes,’ I’ll promise never to back
another horse!”
