The Bishop is inducting the new Rector of Wrigley this afternoon, and he sent a wire this morning he is always doing things at the last moment he never considers others to say that he would call at Barford on his way to see Michael.

Although they amused themselves with my awkwardness, and annoyed me with practical jokes, they took a pride and pleasure in inducting me into the mysteries of their craft.
