"Is there a song where she recognises him before he presents the token?"
Excellent question, Gurney. I can't think of one. It's amazing the way the lassies of yore could not recognize their own true loves. You may say that they got sunburned, grew beards, and got bald, but what about the voice, the accent, the gait? If we love someone, we cherish all these things.
One day when I was six years old, I was amazed to learn that my mother could recognize my father by his walk when he was four blocks away.

"I can't decide if this is meant facetiously or not, but it's hilarious!"
Ruth, it's in deadly earnest, and we don't want any pipesmokers either, especially if they are being filmed in a book-lined study. With brown leather armchairs.
