A MIX UP AT HARRODS

A young man called Peter wanted to purchase a gift for his new
sweetheart’s Christmas present and as they had not been dating for very long, after careful consideration, he decided that a pair of gloves would strike
the right note, not too romantic and not too personal.

Accompanied by his sweetheart’s sister he went to Harrods and bought
a dainty pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties
for herself at the same time.

During the wrapping the shop assistant mixed up the two items and the
sister got the gloves and the sweetheart got the panties. Without
checking the contents the young man sealed the package and sent it to his
sweetheart with the following note:

Dear Maria

I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of
wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for your sister
I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears short
ones that are easier to remove.

These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me
the pair that she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were
hardly soiled at all. I had her try yours on for me and she looked
really smart even though they were a little tight on her. She also told me
that her pair helps to keep her ring clean and shiny, in fact she had not
needed to wash it since she had begun wearing them.

I wish I were there to put them on for you for the first time, as no
doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you
again. When you take them off remember to blow into them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how
many times my lips will kiss them during the coming year. I hope that you
will wear them for me on Friday night.”

All my love

Peter

P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.
