Dear Mizz Wimbish,

Confessions are something to admire. Don't you agree? Far more confessors, of the subtle variety, would make this world a place more agreeable for all. It is in this spirit that I concoct this missive and subtle confession.

I have been taken with you for some number of years. I notice that you are quite fond of roses, as am I.

Given our mutual interests, and the proximity of our lives, I think it is time for us to meet fate halfway and talk of things that affect us both. We could discuss your roses, or my books, or any matter that concerns you. There are many seemingly quiet things that happen on our very street that I think could fill an evening, if not a lifetime.

If my suggestion intrigues you, I will meet you beyond the honeysuckle on the far side of Embry Lane by the fourth gaslight. I will be there Wednesday just before the lamplighter arrives.

I encourage you to consider my offer, as it is filled with gravity.

Most sincerely and with the respect due to a lady of your type,
Edward T. Cozzlebottom
