"But please tell me more about your minister's bride does she belong to Priorsford?" "English," said Miss Teenie, "and smokes, and plays golf, and wears skirts near to her knees. What in the world she'll look like at the missionary work party or attending the prayer meeting I cannot think. Poor Mr. Morrison must be demented, and he is such a good preacher."
"Father, either it is not you that speak, or I am demented." "There, my dear, don't take it so seriously.
