A society youth writes ironically to the young lady in the case：Dear Miss Smith， perhaps you remember I proposed to you last night， and I do not now recall whether you said yes，or no．

   Dear George， I remember I said‘no’ to someone last night， but I had forgotten who it was．

一个社交界的青年给一位年轻女士挖苦地写道：亲爱的史密斯小姐，您也许记得我昨晚向您求婚，但我现在记不起您到底是答应了还是没答应。

亲爱的乔治，我记得昨晚是对一个人说了‘不’，但忘了那人是谁。
