Chivalry (Kindness) in the Rain

"Chivalry: It's the little boy that kisses my hand, the young man who holds the door open for me, and the old man who tips his hat to me.  None of it is a reflection of me, but a reflection of them."
~ Donna Lynn Hope

Walking through downtown in the rain, I saw a man holding an umbrella carefully walk his female companion to her side of the car.  I was touched by his thoughtful gesture.  As he closed her door, he turned around and smiled at me.  "Chivalry is alive and well," I said.  We both continued on our way, but I suspect we left our random encounter a little happier.
