renewed half an hour later, though with less intensity.

father, one grandmother, two fathers, one mother, one

A. GENEALOGY.—OId Williams of Doncaster had in
the year 1700, two daughters by his first wife, the eldest
of whom was married to John Willey the son, and the
Youngest was married to John Willey the father ; this
Willey had a daughter by his first wife, whom Old Wil-
liams married, and by her had a son ; therefore, Wiley
the father's second wife could say :—" My father is my
son, and I am my mother's mother, my sister is my
daughter, and I am grandmother to my brother."
