The Old Lady Shows Her Medals TITLE OF SOURCE: AUTHOR'S NAME - FIRST: LAST: DESCRIPTION: Visual Text 'Have you noticed you have never called me son?'<br><br>'Have I noticed it! I was feared, Kenneth. You said I was on probation.'<br><br>'And so you were. Well, the probation's ended.' He laughs uncomfortably. 'The like of me! But if you want me you can have me.'<br><br>'Kenneth, will I do?'<br><br>'Woman,' artfully gay, 'don't be so forward. Wait till I have proposed.'<br><br>'Propose for a mother?'<br><br>'What for no?' In the grand style, 'Mrs. Dowey, you queer carl, you spunky tiddy, have I your permission to ask you the most important question a neglected orphan can ask of an old lady?'<br><br>She bubbles with mirth. Who could help it, the man has such a way with him.<br><br>'None of your sauce, Kenneth.'<br><br>'For a long time, Mrs. Dowey, you cannot have been unaware of my sonnish feelings for you.'<br><br>'Wait till I get my mop to you!'<br><br>'And if you're not willing to be my mother, I swear I'll never ask another.'
