"Dear Mrs Silverlock, Many thanks for your kind and understanding letter and the pot of delicious home-made strawberry jam. In you I recognise that rare animal: a woman of compassion. I was a teenage bridegroom but it soon developed that we were two trains running on the same track in opposite directions. Although never bored, a lot is missing from my life..."
"Dear Mr Silverlock, It was a very real thrill to get your beautiful letter and pot of jam. Since losing my husband a few years back I've also lost my interest in life, but now I'm ready to spread my wings. I hope your good wife does not object to me writing to you..."
