The Present

[David Holden]

A young man called Donald wanted to purchase a gift for his new sweetheart Deirdre as they had not been together for very long and he wanted to surprise her. After careful consideration, he decided that a pair of gloves would strike the right note, not too romantic and not too

personal.

 

Accompanied by his sister he went to Arnotts and bought a dainty pair of white gloves. The sister purchased a pair of panties for herself at the same time. During the wrapping the shop assistant mixed up the two items and the sister got the gloves and Deirdre got the panties.

 

Without checking the contents Donald sealed the package with a kiss and sent it to his sweetheart with the following note:

 

"Dear Deirdre, I chose these because I noticed that you are not in the habit of wearing any when we go out in the evening. If it had not been for my sister I would have chosen the long ones with the buttons, but she wears short ones that are easier to remove. These are a delicate shade, but the lady I bought them from showed me the pair that she had been wearing for the past three weeks and they were hardly soiled at all. I had her try yours on for me and she looked really smart even though they were a little tight on her.

 

She also told me that her pair helps to keep her ring clean and shiny, in fact she had not needed to wash it since she had begun wearing them.

 

Wish I was there to put them on for you for the first time, as no doubt many other hands will touch them before I have a chance to see you again.

 

When you take them off remember to blow into them before putting them away as they will naturally be a little damp from wearing. Just think how many times my lips will kiss them during the coming year. I hope that you will wear them for me on Friday night."

 

All my love

 

Donald

 

P.S. The latest style is to wear them folded down with a little fur showing.
