They need a little excitement

     "You don't think I was really worrying because I had lost Aline, do you? I thought I was going to lose you, and it made me miserable. You couldn't expect me to say so in so many words, but I thought you guessed. I practically said it. Ashe! What are you doing?"

    Ashe paused for a moment to reply.

    "I am kissing you," he said.

    "But you mustn't. There's a scullery-maid or something looking out of the kitchen window. She will see us."

    Ashe drew her to him.

    "Scullery-maids have few pleasures," he said. "Theirs is a dull life. Let her see us."

(from Something Fresh, by Sir Pelham Wodehouse)
