Snapshots by the way
by Guest, Gilbert

professor blankson is a music teacher, but due to a lack of patience quite a failure at this profession. he is ordinarily ugly except when he plays music, which makes him shine with happiness and appear quite handsome. but he has a violent temperament, and some people say that the reason for his being unmarried is that he cant control his temper long enough to ask a woman to have him.
but one day he is to play and from behind the stage he sees an unknown woman, and falls in love at first sight. and so does she. but is this enough to get married?
