Am I allowed to say I'm rather pleased you're not married?
-
Here you are, madam.
-
I'm a little less pleased.
-
Oh, dear. It sounds like you're hiding a romantic secret.
-
Not too romantic.
-
A little while ago, I was jilted at the altar.
-
- Which wasn't much fun. - Oh dear, I am sorry.
-
Oh, please don't be.
-
It's a relief to be reminded I'm not an object of pity to the entire world.
-
I've clearly put my foot in it, and now you'll turn the job down.
-
- Please don't. - I won't.
-
Not if you don't want me to.
