A COUNTRY schoolmaster was met by a certain nobleman, who asked his name
and vocation. Having declared his name, he added, And I am master of
this parish.--Master of this parish, observed the peer, how can that
be?--I am master of the children of the parish, said the man; the
children are masters of their mothers, the mothers are rulers of the
fathers, and consequently I am master of the whole parish.
