A Mysterious Note.

Harry Thompson was very much in love with a girl, and every time that she said anything his heart would jump for fear that she was going to offer him her hand. One day he received a letter from her. In the letter was the following: "I have a question that I have waited a long time to ask you, and I hope that you will not think that I have a nerve to do so, but It has worried me so much and caused the loss of so many nights’ sleep that I must ask you it now or else I don’t know what will become of me, for every time ttat you leave, it comes into my mind Well, I can’t keep it in any longer, and so here it is: How many times a week do you shave?" He did not read any more of it. His nerves had got the best of him. He had received such a shock that he had to be rushed to a nearby hospital.
