| ‘Not To Be Taken.’ |
A Snatch of Conversation.
A few minutes later the wife herself was
being examined again by her counsel
about the flask of whisky which she said
was in her husband’s possession
before he went on his fishing holiday.
‘He was packing his bag, and I noticed
a new flask of whisky being packed away
among the contents.
I asked who gave it to him.
Was it a friend?
He smiled and remarked,
“Ah Ha!”
“Oh,” I said,
“then perhaps you have
bought it yourself,”
and he grinned,
and said,
“He He!”.’
The wife joined in the laughter which
this explanation caused.
She added, ‘That was the whole conversation.’
She added, ‘That was the whole conversation.’
