silente Posted August 9 Report Share Posted August 9 One evening a humble priest received an invitation to dine with his bishop. The young man was quite flattered, and of course accepted. He arrived punctually at 7pm and knocked gently upon the door, nervously twisting his hands around the neck of the bottle of wine he had brought. The door was presently opened by the most strikingly gorgeous woman the priest had ever seen. He was so startled he nearly dropped the wine, and gaped at her for a moment before he regained his composure. He stammered out his name, and the beautiful servant welcomed him in. She accepted the bottle of wine and went to fetch the bishop, and the young priest said a few "our fathers" to keep the little priest quiet. The bishop arrived in the foyer a few moments later, dismissed the maid with a wink and a caress on the back, and escorted the priest into the house. The shy priest was not one to mention such a thing, but couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at the bishop's behavior. Seeing his reaction, the bishop quickly said, "Please don't assume anything improper. The young lady is a friend of my family, and as I have known her practically since birth I am on very close terms with her." The priest outwardly accepted this explaination, but harbored inward doubts.Over the course of their meal, the priest became more and more skeptical of the bishop's explaination as he observed the behavior of master and servant. Time and again the bishop tried to dismiss it as nothing, saying the girl was a friend and a servant - nothing more. Their flirtation was obvious though, and the priest grew increasingly uncomfortable. He dismissed himself politely after dessert, saying he had work to attend to. He thanked the bishop for a pleasant evening and departed for his home.A few days later, the maid approached the bishop and said, "I don't want accuse anyone of anything, but I haven't been able to find your antique gravy ladle since that young priest dined here." The bishop frowned and said, "I certainly can't imagine him stealing anything, but I will write to him and ask about it." The bishop did this promptly and waited expectantly for an explaination.A few days later he received a letter from the priest which said simply, "I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but if you were sleeping in your own bed you would have found that gravy ladle a long time ago."
