My boyfriend very kindly went around at bedtime every night to blow out all the candles and oil lamps but annoyingly never left me with a light.
On the 3rd night I was fed up with being left in the dark while he played kind host and I went to find him.
I got a little more than a light when I found him and my friend locked in a steamy kiss in the study.
It seems she was also kindly volunteering to put out lights and the two were meeting in the dark every night.
Poor girl got such a fright that she burnt her fingers quite badly on the oil lamp
......and she got to keep my boyfriend
