to be avoided, when they went according to the shields that were hung up.
Thus, for instance, some who wanted to go to a very grave assembly of
elderly men, where important affairs were to be discussed, found
themselves in a noisy boys’ school, where all the company were leaping
over the chairs and tables.
There were also people who made a mistake between the church and the
theatre, and that was terrible indeed!
Such a storm we have never witnessed in our day; for that only happened
in grandpapa’s time, when he was quite a little boy. Perhaps we shall never
experience a storm of the kind, but our grandchildren may; and we can only
hope and pray that all may stay at home while the storm is moving the
shields.
