Clergyman’s Sharp Retort Tales From Grand Dames Debate
A Winnipeg clergyman, W. Gordon, urged saving souls swiftly at a convention, contrasting sincere earnestness with what he called venomous social circles. He recounted a Washington reception dialogue between two grand dames from Philadelphia and New York about mothers, ending with a biting exchange. Also noted is a tale from Confederate general Extra Billy Smith about a march where exhausted troops refused to rise, with Smith threatening to march the regiment off and leave them behind. An aside riffs on lies as a modern sore topic.
