a man and his wife, stepped forward,
and to Sir Georges Infinite disgust the
man played God Save the King with
his knuckles on his chin, accompanied
by his wlfe's voice.
The king called Sir George to him
and asked who they were. Sir George
by that time knew the name Of the
performers and gave It, adding that
he was sorry they had lntruded with

"Oh, no lntrusion!" said the king.
