Eccentric Parson and Jokes From a Bygone Tale

A fragmentary item presents Rev. Peters at Aitlebore noted as slightly eccentric. It recounts his encounter with parishioners, a quip about his origin and destination, and a dry reply about feeling already there. The piece then shifts to short humorous exchanges including a dialogue about boys growing, umbrellas blocking rain, and a grocer named Berry trading with an actor, ending with a pun-filled rebuttal.
