Only Enough For One
SHERIDAN was once staying at the house of an elderly maiden lady in the
country, who wanted more of his company than he was willing to give.
Proposing one day to take a stroll with him, he excused himself on
account of the badness of the weather. Shortly afterwards she met him
sneaking out alone. So, Mr. Sheridan, said she, it has cleared
up.--Just a little, ma'am--enough for one, but not enough for two.
