A Good Listener
Revd Gentn: 'Well Tim, did you leave the letter at the Squire's?'
Tim: 'I did, Your Riv'rence, I b'lieve they're havin' dinner company today –'
Revd Gentn (angrily): 'What business had you to be listening about. How often I've told you –'
Tim: 'Plaze Your Riv'rence, I only listened wid my nose!!
