people is that they allow their views
to become distorted by prejudices of

Bishop Oliphant of Landau had a
well-to-do young man as curate who
had rather sporting instincts. He
kept his own horses and always drove
tandem. The bishop disapproved, and
decided to administers rebuke on a
favorable opportunity. Both the bishop
and the curate, each driving in his
own way, met near the historic Cow
and Shutters. The bishop, Of course,
was driving two abreast, and the cur
ate tandem, as usual.
Il really must protest" said the
bishop, lat your driving about in such
a manner"
Well, my lord" said the curate.

am !. What is the difference?"
After a few moments reflection
