<_■ 8 A certain bishop of the Church oi England, whom I shall call Kerrison, is a widower, with a daughter in the hobbledehoy stage, called Polly. He is learned, but lazy. A rector in his diocese, wishing for his advice on a certain matter of ritual, wrote to this bishop and asked him whether he could or could not do so-and-so. Receiving no reply, he mentioned the fact to a brother parson, who explained that the bishop was notorious for not answering letters. A second time the bishop was applied to on the doubtful point, and this time a reply did arrive—in the form of a postcard, on which was written :—"Pa says you can't.— Polly Kerrison."
