Guard the Manse

Raise the drawbridge!

Mom tells of the time when The Formidable Terror, Tim Michell, our Methodist dominee’s youngest with a reputation for disturbing the peace, ran into our youngest sibling Sheila.

One fine day Mom and Sheila went to visit Dorianne and Tim at the manse, next door to the old Wesley Hall in Warden Street. As soon as they arrived the Moms, looking forward to a peaceful chat, shoo’d the kids out to play outdoors.

In no time Tim came wailing into the house complaining of something and demanding, Who are these people!? Dorianne said soothingly, ‘Timmy my boy it’s Mary and Sheila and they’ve come to visit.’

Well why did you open the door!?

Apparently he was not impressed as Mary and Dorianne collapsed with laughter.
