On wooing. Architecture.

One day you might find yourself taking a turn about town with a lady. This is perfectly normal and is one of the first steps into a relationship. Whatever your ultimate purpose it is highly important that you cement within her a feeling of warmth towards you. This can be done in a variety of ways. The first we present to you is thus.

You are taking a stroll down one of Londons beautiful throughfares. "How lovely" she might say or "look at that marvellous building!" Do not be concerned that topics have wandered away from you or what you do for a living, the lady is merely expressing an interest and love for an ancient craft: Architecture.

A word of warning here. She must only express an interest in the appearance or façade of the building. If she says something to the effect of, "I admire that brickwork!" or "that's a very sophisticated gable, I wonder how it affects the load of the roof upon the front wall?" then you should leave immediately for you have accidentally become involved with a labourer. A lady should admire the "Romany looking poles" or the "rummy sort of creature type bits with the water coming out" and should never be interested in how the cement was mixed.

Once the interest from the lady is made public you should engage her with everything you know about architecture. A good introduction to the subject is Sir Joshua Cornice's book, "Architecture brick by brick" published by Lewington Lewington, London. Once you have left the company of the lady act swiftly. Wander down to you local builders merchant and procure a pallet of bricks. Once the order has arrived deliver it to your lady friends residents and have her butler install it in her boudoir. On returning home the lady will be so overwhelmed with joy at the find that she may very well shed a tear. She will regard the object as the foundation stones of your relationship and a bright future is sure to ensue.
