An Afternoon Sail (And Splash)

A monolouge about a Sunday outing.

       It was a Sunday morning, outside the chapel, that he asked to take me for a row down the stream. Of course, he was such a dapper gentleman, I just had to say yes, it was only polite (Though Mother and Grandmama think his sparkling eyes hypnotized me into agreeing, I rather think so as well. Father and Marie, my sister, think I just had a fancy for him.) We set out in the skiff, my dearest John and I. About half-way down the stream he pulls the boat aside. Of course, like any prudent young lady, I inquired as to why we had stopped. He tells me that, despite the fact he had simply invited me for a boat ride, he wished to treat me to a picnic lunch. Well, how was I to refuse? We had a splendid lunch, he was nothing but a gentleman. Afterwards, we got back in the skiff and sailed a while more, chatting pleasantly along the way. When we docked, we were alone, but I thought nothing of it at the time, who would? He handed me out of the skiff after tying it off securely. He looks around as if searching for something, of course, I inquire as to what he searched for. He replies by motioning me closer. I, of couse, thinking he didn't wish to reply in a loud voice, come closer. Well, what do you think he does but up and kisses me! Well, let's just say it was a lovely afternoon sail, that ended with him falling into the river with a extremely satisfying splash.

Author's Note

This is a monolouge I came up with for fun. If you didn't get it, here's a quick rundown: This is a story being told about what we would call a first date back when they were outings and girls always wore dresses and lace and such. The boy takes her on a row down the river, takes her for a picnic, being extremely gentlemanly the whole while. When they get back, they're alone. Back then you did NOT kiss people on a first date, or second, or third, and so on, until you had their dad's permission. Well, he kisses her, and she shoves him into the river. Hope it's entertaining or comes in handy. I don't mind if anyone uses it, I know how hard it is to find monolouges.

Quite a sweet, entertaining little tale. (Maybe a bit mischievous, too?) It's my guess that the fellow thought the price he paid for the kiss wasn't a bit too high.
