Continental and English People in love

If a continental youth wants to declare his love to a girl, he kneels down, tells her that she is the sweetest, the most charming and ravishing person in the world, that she has something in her, something peculiar and individual which only a few hundred thousand other women have and that he would be unable to live one more minute without her. Often, to give a little more emphasis to this statement, he shoots himself on the spot. This is a normal, week-day declaration of love in the more temperamental continental countries.
In England the boy pats his adored one on the back and says softly: "I don't object to you, you know."
If he is quite mad with passion, he may add: "I rather fancy you, in fact."
If he wants to marry a girl, he says: "I say... would you?"
If he wants to make an indecent proposal: "I say... what about..."
(by George Mikes, from “How to Be an Allen")
