Evidence: | '[On Sunday] After breakfast I had taken up the "Weekly Examiner", and was intent upon a more than usually scurrilous and illogical leading article, when the paper was suddenly snatched from my hands by my landlady, who sternly asked me if I thought reading a newspaper on a Sunday morning was proper behaviour in the house of a God-fearing couple.' |
