Oh, I can’t stand the suspense. Maybe if I just go out there and tell father that I’m pregnant he’ll agree to let Robert marry me.

“They just asked him if he’s willing to fix the leaking roof. If he says yes, I think I will have a chance with him.”

I’m not very good at reading lips, but I think he just said, “I’d like permission to bury your doctor.”

His Lordship has views on “romance”
And the suitor is wearing cheap pants..
A concern more acute
Is that hole in his boot -
Let us face it – he hasn’t a chance.

His lordship’s a wise old head
Their future he’s already read…
She will screech and complain
But he’s sparing her pain…
She will thank him long after he’s dead !
