- Sounds abombidibly (sp) like _Code of the Woosters_ (one of my all time
- favorites, I am sure) and even if it's not, it ought to be. Can't say
- who said it, though. Maybe that preacher sort, who was to marry the
- lass who had connections to the magistrate (not M. Basset, hang it, the
- other one!) It's been a year since I read it, and the particulars slip
- the mind and all, what?
