If you’re on the carpet, it’s best not to go around one’s elbow. You won’t have much luck if you expect your future spouse to work long hours at a packhouse or enjoy the same things you do, such as Sally Lunn and Tom Thumb. Perhaps you can agree on Brunswick stew for dinner, as long as it’s not too oniony. When you’re ready to say, “I do,” get someone better than a table tapper.
