It was evening when we drove up to Maughold, and the little parson was by the Cross, ordering somebody with a cane. 'I am told you married my son yesterday; is it true? said grandfather. 'Quite true, said the vicar. 'By banns or special license? grandfather asked. 'License, of course, the vicar answered." "Curt enough, any way."

"It's a fortune," said one. "Let him put it with Mr. Dumbell," said another.
