Lucas certainly wanted his marriage proposal to Elizabeth to be special. He wanted it to be a surprise. He wanted it to be romantic. He wanted it to be everything that Elizabeth had ever dreamed of.
This proposal had taken weeks, nay months, of thought and planning, but at last he had decided. He would wait until the wisteria was fully in flower (Elizabeth loved wisteria), set up a romantic table for two on the patio (Elizabeth loved outside dining), have Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos playing quietly in the background (Elizabeth loved Bach), and then he would go down on one knee with the engagement ring and pop the question. She was coming for dinner this very evening.
There was a knock on the door. It was Elizabeth.
“You’re early!” said Lucas. “Come through! Come through! We’re having dinner on the patio at the back of the house. You look as beautiful as ever!”
“Look,” said Elizabeth, “I’ve come early to say our relationship is over. I’m calling it off.”
There, there Lucas. There are plenty of fillies in the field.

To quote Scripture. See the fillies of the field. Not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.

There are lots of pebbles on the beach but he shouldn’t wait on the wisteria (which I also love!).
