My sweetheart asked me ...

Today, my sweetheart asked if he could see my treasures. I hitched up my skirts, ran into the barn, beckoning him. I've never seen him run faster, oh my, he was eager.
I dug up the old box where I kept all my childhood keepsakes. My first story book, an old doll, even my ballet shoes. He looked at me confused when I put everything back and said it's time for tea.
I knew what my sweetheart wanted, but my Pa and Ma raised me proper. If he wants my treasures, he'll have to put a ring on my finger.
