spirit by walking nervously about.

marry a gentleman who was a great
whisky manufacturer in Dublin. The
bishop felt disinclined to do this, be-
Ing very much opposed to the trade:
but, as the gentleman in question had
a great reputation and was known to
be very charitable, the bishop did not
like to refuse. After the ceremony
the bridegroom said:
Il Go not know how to thank your
lordship. I wish I could do something
that might be pleasing to you. All l
can say is, The Lord be with you"
