 abstract = {Eddie Cranston asked my sister to marry him three times before she stopped saying no. The first time he’d come with flowers and gone down in front of her on one knee, even though he was a big man and the position was difficult for him. The second time he asked her he put it in writing and then stood on the corner across from our house, so she’d know where to find him when she wanted to look. A postal strike delayed the letter but still he kept standing there three days in the rain—which impressed her enough},
