- “If you don't want to marry her, why on earth did you propose?,” said one man to another, “ “Thats just it,” said the other man “she proposed to me.”
“Why didn't you turn her down then?”
“I couldn't, she worded her proposal so cleverly, she said, “Will you marry me?.”
Have you any objection? “Whether I said “yes” or “no” she had me,”
“Not at all: you should have preserved a discreet silence.”
“Just what I did, and she fell into my arms murmuring that silence gave consent”
