An important politician was seen moving around with a film actress for a couple of months,with whom he finally decided to plunge into matrimony.
But being cautious,he hired a private detective for the job of looking into her past and finding out if she had any previous affairs with any men.
After a few days,the politician received his detective's report at last,which went like this:
“Sir,this lady has a spotless reputation.Her past is clear,her family and friends all come from a very respectable background.No one has anything against her character.But,according to my sources,for the last couple of months she's been frequently seen flirting with a politician with a dubious reputation.”
一位政客与某女演员交往了几个月后,终于决定步入婚姻的殿堂。
但是出于谨慎考虑,他还是雇用了一位私人侦探来调查这位女演员的过去,看他是否曾与其他男性有染。
几天之后,这位政客终于收到了侦探的调查报告,内容如下:
先生,这位女士的声誉无可挑剔。她的确十分清白,且出身于名门望族,朋友亦是如此,也没人说她性格不好。不过,根据我了解到的情况,她在过去的几个月中一直与一位臭名昭著的政客勾搭在一起……
