[QUOTE="Batman_2000, post: 328713, member: 481"]Haha! I like this a lot... poor bloke... if he did make a mistake then this is an excellent way to wriggle out of it. Sounds like he wrote the wrong word down, possibly in a previous letter; [I]But thinking of one thing and writing another Is enough to put all a mans brains in a bother And indeed I assure you I wrote in a hurry And scrawled the word [U]marry[/U], instead of to worry[/I] Oops! In those days etiquette would have been everything, and now he's worried he's blown his chances of ever being taken seriously by a lady in the future. It looks like an original piece of writing to me, though I could be wrong. Definitely worth doing some searches - I'll see if I can find anything :)[/QUOTE]
