1 P.M. PYJAMAS PUZZLE VICAR

So Do Parishioners- They Vanish

"Mark the time; it is almost one o'clock. I think we shall wce at least one dressing-gown or pyjama before we reach the vicarage.'

Deeply puzzled is Father Poole, ex-Army, ex-Navy chaplain. His parish defeats him-in this-sense; he cannot make up his mind what time his parishioners rise.
