A Wedding Blonder That Furnished m
Curious Climax,
The other evening we were talking '
to Mr. Bransby Williams, the delight
ful Impersonator of Dickens' charac
ters. and be told us this story:
The scene was a London parish, and
the period recent Tbe vicar was sit
ting in his study one morning when in
burst the verger In a great state of
excitement
"Mr. —” (mentioning the curate’s
namei "wants you at once, sir," be
exclaimed. "He has married two coo
pies and married tbe two men to the
wrong women, and be does not know
what to dor
“Have they signed the register7' in
qutred the clergyman.
“No,” was the verger's response.
“Then they can be married again,"
said tbe vicar. ‘Tell Mr. - 1 will
be at the church In a minute or two to
perform the ceremony.”
Id due course the incumbent made
bis way to the church and found the
parties gathered at the entrance.
Before be could say anything one of
the bridegrooms approached and said
“We have been talking It over, sir .
and we have made up our minds to ^
remain as we are ” i,
And they did so.—Pearson's Weekly j
