The Gloves

A young man called Ron wanted to buy a Christmas present for his new girlfriend. They hadn't been seeing each other for very long and lived a considerable distance away.

He consulted with his sister and decided after careful consideration,that a pair of good quality gloves would strike the right note, not too romantic and not too personal. Off he went with his sister to Harrods and they selected a dainty pair of fur lined quality leather gloves. His sister bought a pair of knickers for herself at thesame time.

Harrods had a free gift wrap offer but the assistant mixed up the two items, the sister got the gloves and Ron got the knickers.

Ron sent off his gift wrapped present in a parcel with the following letter.

Dear Sasha,

I chose these because I've noticed that you are not wearing any when we go out in the evenings. If it had not been for my sister I would have chosen the long ones with buttons, but she wears shorter ones which are easier to remove.

These are a very delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair 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 in them even though they were a little bit tight on her. She also said that they rub against her ring which helps keep it clean. In fact she hasn't needed to wash it since she began wearing them.

When you take them off remember to blow into them a little bit because they will be naturally a little damp from wear.

I hope you will wear them for me on our next date.

All my love, Ron.

P.S. My mum tells me that the lateststyle is to wear them folded down with a little bit of fur showing.
