A Scottish church dignitary once revised a transept to add seating and wondered aloud about the people who would fill it. A beadle retorted that the space was ample only if a popular minister would arrive. The bits include jokes on excuses for absence, a witty exchange about a child’s education, and assorted humorous notes from newspapers and exchanges.
A New Haven dispatch recounts a veiled elopement scheme at the Allen House dining room. A widow hides behind a black veil as a man, her supposed suitor, bolts to a New Orleans train after the plan collapses. The tale includes a Yale County angle and the widow’s pursuit by her husband’s paramours, plus odd asides about a Cardiff Giant hoax and a German spoon tale.
