Reasons for Not Going to Church (J.P.S.)

This lady, who has just returned from London on the Thursday with some lovely dresses, remembered at the last moment on Sabbath that she had ordered a high door to be made to her seat in church to prevent draught and secure greater privacy. Her footman, who cycled along to church to make measurements, has just reported that the entrance to the seat is twenty-three-and-a-half inches wide. Her hat is two feet seven inches diameter. To go to church is therefore quite out of the question!
