- (continued from previous page)retired earlier than usual. The old man went on his knees and prayed thus :-
God bless me and my wife,
My son John and his wife
Us four and no more
For ever more. Amen.
Jeremiah who was drowsy heard the old man's prayer. So pulling the curtain aside and raising himself on his elbow, he stuck his head round the corner of the bed and replied :-

Your son John and his wife
You four and no more
For ever more. Amen.- Collector
