Seek and Ye Shall Find
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Hilarious Encounter Between a Hotel Guest and Landlady in a 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, titled "Seek and Ye Shall Find," captures the humorous moment of a misunderstanding between a middle-aged hotel guest and a no-nonsense landlady. The scene is set in a quaint, old-fashioned British hotel, where the man, dressed in striped pyjamas, stands in the middle of a dimly lit bedroom, looking puzzled. The landlady, a middle-aged woman with a stern expression, stands in the doorway, holding a notice with a biblical quotation written on it. The man, with a quizzical look on his face, asks, "What does this mean, 'Seek and ye shall find'?" The landlady, exasperated, replies, "It's a Bible quotation, sir! It means if you look hard enough, you'll find what you're looking for!" The man, still confused, asks, "But what am I supposed to be looking for?" The landlady, rolling her eyes, responds, "I don't know, but I've put up a notice to remind my customers to be quiet after 10 pm!" The man, now realizing his mistake, chuckles and apologizes. The landlady, satisfied, nods and disappears back into the hallway, leaving the man to ponder the meaning of the quotation in the comfort of his stripy pyjamas. This charming comic postcard, reminiscent of the works of Donald McGill, brings a smile to our faces with its clever wordplay and amusing depiction of a common misunderstanding. The use of biblical quotations and the quirky British humor make it a delightful addition to any collection.
