A Story in Anagrams |
A fun method of
playing the game of anagrams is to write short stories,
putting the anagram in a sentence appropriate to it, and
drawing a line under it to show which is the anagram.
Read the following story and decode

Thinking of you, dear
Catherine, would soon come to the understanding
of what I write you in anagram of my visits with a
clergyman on the parishioners.
As we were walking along, talking about the good
deeds of Florence Nightingale, we suddenly met a
crowd around the astronomer.
Asking him if it was a radical reform, he
said, “Demonstration,” and that he was holding his
breath watching the moon shining up with sapolio
and trying to enlighten the potentates of different
countries. We
did not take much stock in their funeral or
revolution.
Two lawyers came up to us and said, “We don’t see
much wealth in this.”
We had never sympathized with the doctrines of
transubstantiation.
Our first call was on a popular authoress, who
had just returned from an orchestra concert.
We had a pleasant call, and as we came out we saw a
surgeon and Dr. Chamberlain driving at full
speed. In great
consternation we followed them, and found James
Stuart hurt by the cars.
When the excitement was over, we were impatient to
return home, so that ended our visits to the parishioners. |
