"Like any northern girl, Maureen ensnared her man the northern way: by mid-January she was pregnant. Ringo, like any good northern man, did what was expected. One morning at three o’clock, good and drunk at the [club], he got down on one knee and proposed to her amidst the good-natured catcalls of his friends."
