The English Cousin
Published Jan 01, 1900
My cousin, visiting from Bristol, England, has quite a British accent. She attended church with us, and we were all invited to stay for lunch. Also at lunch was Timmy, 5-year-old grandson of the host.
Timmy stuck close to the English visitor, watching her closely and hanging on to her every word.
As we were leaving we heard him ask his grandmother, "Grandmother, is that lady speaking in tongues?"
