Who--father? Oh, you see, I... I don't know my father ...... Uncle William didn't know anything about it until yesterday. (MANSON: Hm! That is strange, too!) There's a bit of a mystery about it altogether. Would you like to hear? It is rather like a fairy-tale. (MANSON: It must be. Yes, do go on.) It was all through Uncle William's Restoration Fund. You see, our old church is in a perfectly rotten state of decay, and naturally it would take a lot to repair it: so uncle thought of starting a Fund--Yes! Wasn't it clever of him?--I addressed all the envelopes. Would you believe it, we couldn't get a single halfpenny! Isn't it a shame?--Such a nice old church, too!
