Story of a Kiss.
In the Shoreditch (London) County Court on February 13, on a judgment summons being called on, a lady stepped into the box, and, after being requested to remove her glove, the usher administered the oath, adding in true court style, “ Kiss! ” The Lady (indignantlv) ; “Sir!” The Usher: “ Kiss.” The Lady (more indignantly) : “ Sir! ” The Usher (with a gesture of impatience) : “ Kiss! ” The Lady (witheringly) ; “ I am not in the habit ” The Usher (slowly): “Will you kiss the book?” The Lady (blushing hotly) : “Yes, certainly—certainly. Pardon me not understanding you.” (Laughter.)—“Daily Telegraph.” © © ©
