"You must say ‘I will,’ ” corrected the parson, and repealed the question. “I’ll.” said the coster again. The parson said he would stop the service if the response were not given in the proper manner. This was too much for the bride. “Look ’ere!” she burst out. “You just give up i yer badgerin'. You'll ’ave Bill sayin'j ‘No,’ in a moment, if you keeps on at it."
