Mr. In Need of Entertainment,
Well, I find confidence more attractive than modesty, whether that is the popular opinion or not. A man can get away with self-confidence, anyway, in ways a woman can’t.
But thank you for being so amenable to my plight. Someone as bored as I can scarcely afford to be choosy, so I shall take anything you have: be it a tale of misadventure; some funny, embarrassing story; a fact about you – or better still, a secret.
Waiting with bated breath,
Miss Amusement
