What began as a romantic trope becomes a comedic two-part oracle — sent by the same person, just days apart, to make up for a missed moment.
One reads:
“Dearest Friend,
Thanks very much for the pretty card.
I didn’t get to send this earlier so now you’ll get two.
A souvenir for this — Goodbye!”
The other, scribbled across in a rush, ends cheekily with:
“Don’t faint to see this card so soon.”
Two identical, hand-colored scenes:
A woman in red, perched beside a waterfall.
A man leaning in, collecting water — or maybe courage.
A tropical dream in bold colors and Victorian garb.
Even the fountain seems to smirk.
Together, they tell a story of intention, delay, and lighthearted recovery — love sent late, but sent nonetheless.
