GETTING A HOUSE
BEACH DISCLOSURE A 'quiet little family cricket game was going on on a beach in South Australia when a gentleman strolled over the dunes and asked father if he would mind if his little boy joined the fun (says the Australian Newsletter).). The father extended a hearty welcome, and while the game wont on, the two began to talk: — “You’re an Englishman, '•aren’t you?” asked father. “Yes,” was the reply. “How long have you been in South Australia?” “Three days.” “Got a house yet?” “Yes, a very nice one.” “Goodness; how did you wangle it?” The Englishman could have explained that no wangling was required because he was Sir Willoughby Norrie, the new State Governor.
