RUDE HASTE
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
They were on their honeymoon. He had bought a catboat and had taken her out to show her how well he could handle a boat, putting her to tend the sheet. A puff of wind came, and he shouted in no uncertain tone: “Let go the sheet!” No response. Then again: “Let go the sheet.” No response. Then again: “Let go that sheet, quick!” Still no movement. A few minutes after, when both were clinging to the bottom of the overturned boat, he said:
“Why didn’t you let go that sheet, when I told you to, dear?”
“ I would have,” said the bride, “if you had not been so rough about it. You ought to speak more kindly to your wife.”
