Lover's Souvenir
An incident is reported of a young Birmingham man who proposed in the
street. He was so overcome with joy when his girl accepted, that he vowed the paving stone on which they were standing should be a treasured momento for ever, Next morning he wrote to the City Council and asked for the stone. The Lord Mayor was very sympathetic. He had the paving stone dug up and delivered to the wooer. And charged him 10/-. Accompanying the stone was this note: "May the concrete of which .this is made cement your romance, and may this stone prove the foundation of a happy marriage." Who said Romance was dead?
