Landlady (interrupted in the middle of an interesting conversation by the upstairs bell ringing violently) : " Dear me, there's that bell again ! Those parsons keep me running up and down stairs all the time !" Customer: "Parsons? Have you any parsons stopping here ?" Landlady : " Yes : and they're not Blue Ribbon parsons, either." Customer : " High Church or Low Church ?" Landlady : " "Why, High Church, of course ; did you never hear the old saying, sir, 'Low Church for witttles, but High Church for wine ?'"
