  1. One day a girl came to the Dean on a message. It was her first time meeting him so she was very excited. She rang the bell and asked the housekeeper "is the bean dizzy?" The housekeeper answered "Yes he is down in the garden boiling An icicle."
    One day the Bishop came to town. The housekeeper instructed the boy when he would go up to call the Bishop in the morning to knock at the door and when the Bishop would ask who was there to say the boy my Lord". When the boy went he answered "The Lord, my boy."
