WHAT IS LIFE WITHOUT LOVE?
Magistrate : Madam, your husband charges you with assault. Madam : Yes, your honour ; I asked him if he would ever cease to love me, anti he was so slow in answering that I hit him with a mop. I’m only a woman, your honour (tears), and a woman’s life without love is a mere blight.
‘At last, my dearest,’ cried an impassioned lover to the object of his affections. ‘At last we are alone in this room, far from the guests who crowd the drawing-room, and I can tell you how much I love you!’ ‘lmpossible!’ cried the fair l>eing thus addressed, ‘ don’t you know that my mamma has just taken her seat at the piano?’ In another moment she will begin to sing, and then everyone will be taking refuge in heie.’
