Letter box

Touring through the countryside you pass several pituresque villages. On a square in one of those villages I saw a house with a very particular letter box. I wanted to take a picture and while I was framing and focussing one of the windows opened and an elderly woman appeared.
"What are you doing, sir?", she asked.
"I'm taking photos", I said.
"Are you looking for a house here?"
"I beg you pardon?"
"Do you want to sell a house here?"
"No madam", I said.
"Then why do you want to take a photo of this house?"
"I want to take a photo of your letter box, madam. I love this box very much!"
"you better save your love for a decent woman ..."
?????
I heard myself talking, I saw myself standing, recognize that? What to answer next? Then I got an idea!
"It would be tremendous if you want to pose in the window opening for the photo, madam", I said with a what I thought kind smile while setting my iPhone to camera.
"Only one", she said, "come on, get it done."
"Thank you, madam.", I said and the iPhone clicked. One time.

Without another word the woman closed the window ... :O
