DEAR ME, TAKE A CHAIR!
Hero is a story told 'by Archbishop Tomplo in "The Notebook of a Spinster Lady." "I saw a good feal of Gladstone at ono time, but Disraeli I only came into contaut with on ono occasion, when he gave roe a taste of his quality. I was Bishop of Exeter then, and it was concerning the question of creating the Bishopric of Truro—a question that found no favour in Disraeli s eyes. 1 was asked to head a .deputation to him on the subject. . . . I began by describing tkc.lohg journey from Exeter to London. ' 'And yet,' X said, 'in order to give some idea of the extent of our labours I may say that during the greater part of that journey I was travelling through my own diocese.' "'Dear me,' said Disraeli, 'you must be tired, Tako a chair!'"
