A young man called Derrick wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart’s Christmas present. As they had not been dating for very long,after careful consideration,he decided that a pair of gloves would strike the right note,not too romantic and not too personal.
Accompanied by his sweetheart’s sister,he went to Harrods and bought a dainty pair of white gloves.The sister purchased a pair of ■■■■■■■ for herself at the same time. During the wrapping the shop assistant mixed up the two items and the sister got the gloves and the sweetheart the ■■■■■■■. Without checking the contents the young man sealed the package and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:
Dear Maria,
I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for yoursister, I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears the short ones that are easier to remove.These are a delicate shade,but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair that she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled at all.
I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart in them even though they were a little tight on her.She also told me that her pair rubs her ring which helps keep it clean and shiny, in fact she had not needed to wash it since she had begunwearing them. I wish I were there to put them on for you for the firsttime, as no doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you again. When you take them off remember to blow into them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing.
Just think how many lips will kiss them during the coming years.
I hope that you will wear them for me on Friday night.
All my love
Derrick.
P.S The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.
