Don't Believe Her.
The story is told of the present Archbishop of Canterbury that, upon a candidate for ordination essaying to read a chapter of the Bible before him to test his elocutionary powers, he was stopped with the abrupt comment, “Ye’re inaudible!” “But, my lord,” said the discomfited youth, “I’ve read the lessons in a big church, and been told that every word could be heard.” “Who told ye—a lady? Are ye engaged to her?” The candidate owned the soft impeachment. “Then don’t believe a word she says—until ye’re married to her,” was the ungallant reply.
