No wonder that our fine people shuddered.

Only the other day--I speak now of these modern times--the Bishop tried to stop the whole business.

He wrote to the Glebeshire Morning News, urging that Pauper's Fair, in these days of enlightenment and culture, cannot but be regretted by all those who have the healthy progress of our dear country at heart.

Well, you would be amazed at the storm that his protest raised.

People wrote from all over the County, and there were ultimately letters from patriotic Glebeshire citizens in New Zealand and South Africa.
