"PASS HIM IN."
Now for a clerical story toTd me by one of the cloth. There was a very important function being held in a London hall. Everybody who was anybody was there, and even the gallery had been reserved for the servants of peers and peeresses, i A certain clergyman, not being among the elite, nevertheless determined to see the show, if only from the servants* gallery. He went to the gallery door, but was at once stopped by the porter. "Gallery for servants of lords and ladies only," declared the official. "Whose servant are you?"
"I am the servant of the Lord God," replied the parson. Porter to friend inside: "Hi, Bill, bloke 'ere ses he's the servant of Lord God. Ever 'ear of 'im?"
Voice from inside: f<Spect he's a blinkin' Scotch lord. Pass him in."
