Jones says that the people OF linGcrsloW
are small that they alc little, that ;hey me-"
Development, that they ought to travel an
have ,hcir eyes opened, that the atmosph"r
here is congcnia To the devil, that p'opI
swear ard gc, drunk here, that it is ridlcu
lnus to say Hngcrst0Wn is conscryatlV
old place, that no one here knows how t
pray, that the clergymcn here need tapp'h
up" etc, etc.
