Sir W. S. Gilbert

and, four or five times in the week, and never seemed to pall of them,
So
he hunted out all the churches within a convenient distance that had
services at different hours, so to speak;
And when he had married
her he positively insisted upon their going to all of them,
So
they contrived to do about twelve churches every Sunday, and, if they
