The Irony Proposal



----
Odd Spot of the Day:
A skunk can be detected by a human over one kilometer away.

Compare this

"You may know that I have know you for some considerable time during my visit... The impression you have given me is always... What I'm trying to say is that I... I have a respectable property of two thousand a year, in addition to even great expectations as Lady Gresham's heir, to which it may be indelicate to refer. It's yours. If we marry, all of it, yours."

To this

"I have no money, no property, I am entirely dependent upon the bizarre old lunatic, my uncle. I cannot yet offer marriage. But you must know what I feel. I'm yours. I'm yours, I'm yours heart and soul."


How irony but yet lovely in their unique way. Which would you prefer?

If you chose the latter, you'll love Tom Lefroy. If you chose the earlier, Mr Winsley.

As for me, I wish for something less extreme as these but yet the affection and sincerity that prevail.

Love, 
Nichole
