A charming old gentleman used to stop by occasionally at an antique shop in New Hampshire to sell furniture. One day after he had left, the antique dealer's wife said she wished she had told him how much she enjoyed his visits. The husband said, "Next time let's tell him so." The following summer a young woman came in and introduced herself as the daughter of the old gentleman. Her father, she said, had died. Then the wife told her about the conversation she and her husband had had after the old gentleman's last visit. The young woman's eyes filled with tears. "Oh, how much good that would have done my father!" she cried. "He was a man who needed to be reassured that he was liked." "Since that day," the shopkeeper said later, "whenever I think something particularly nice about people, I tell them. I might never get another chance."
