AMONG the daly inquirers after the health of an aged Bishop of D----m,
during his indisposition, no one was more sedulously punctual than
the Bishop of E----r; and the invalid seemed to think that other motives
than those of anxious kindness might contribute to this solicitude. One
morning he ordered the messenger to be shown into his room, and thus
addressed him: Be so good as present my compliments to my Lord Bishop,
and tell him that I am better, much better; but that the Bishop of
W----r has got a sore throat, arising from a bad cold, if that will
do.
