A Change in Tone


Somebody as soon as requested an outdated bachelor, “Sir, why did you by no means get married?”

The outdated man smiled and mentioned, “It goes again to my youth. I used to be at a celebration after I by accident stepped on the trailing scarf of a lady in entrance of me. She spun round like an indignant snake and roared, ‘Are you blind or what?!’

I immediately froze and began stammering out apologies. However then she regarded nearer at my face, and her voice out of the blue turned extremely candy: ‘Oh, I’m so sorry! I believed you had been my husband.’

In that actual second, I utterly misplaced the braveness to ever get married.”
