There is no rose without a thorn, No joy without a sorrow; The pants that creases now adorn Will be baggy-kneed to-morrow. Boss (to new apprentice): 'Has the bookkeeper told you what you have to do in the afternoon?' Boy: 'Yes, sir. I was to wake him when I saw you coming.'
Violet: 'Mr Cholmondeled bas written to ask me to go to the opera with him to-morrow night.' Daisy: 'That is strange. He has asked me also. 'Yes, I told him I wouldn't go without a chaperone.'
'I wish I knew whether my Robert really loves me or not.' 'You can easily find out. All you have to do is to make an appointment with some other young- fellow, only take care that Robert is informed of what you have done. Then, if he really loves you, he will certainly kill you; but if he doesn't, you may rest assured that he is only flirting with you.'
