"Now what are you doing? I'm trying to read the paper."
"I'm holding your hand, love. Doesn't that send a thrill of excitement through your body?"
"Not especially. I hope your hands are clean."
"You used to like me holding your hand when we were courting."
"If I let you have two free hands you'd have eaten all my sweets."
Love it.
ReplyDeleteLovely stuff. Alanbennettesque.
ReplyDeletedelightful, sugar! xoxox
ReplyDeleteI don't suppose 'eaten all my sweets' could mean something rude could it?
ReplyDeleteAfter all - you were listening.
Would they need to put their teeth in first?

I've just realized. You are Peter Tinniswood in disguise and I claim my five quid.
ReplyDelete:-) Sweets, though - did they start courting a very young age? (I was expecting the word "chips").
ReplyDeleteI love your mother and father.
ReplyDeleteScarlet: I've never been able to shock them, which seems a abit unfair.
ReplyDeleteMajor: it's working up north that does it; God knows what I'd be like working in Yorkshire.
Gadjo: they didn't let you take chips into the pictures (that's where all the courting was done in the 1950s)
Libbie: thank you. I suspect I do, to.
that's brilliant!
