Erskine

: Miscellaneous.

Lord Kellie was amusing the company with an account of a sermon
he had heard in Italy, in which the preacher related the miracle of St.

Anthony preaching to the fishes, who, in order to listen to his pious

discourse, held their heads out of the water. "I can credit the miracle,"

said Erskine, "if your lordship was at church." "I certainly was there,"

said the peer. "Then, rejoined Erskine, there was at least _one fish out of

water_."
