"Having made contracts with a number of the leading trawl and line fishermen to take the whole of their prime fish caught during Easter week," &c., &c.
What on earth is the good of fish caught in Easter Week to the persons who have ordered it for the previous Friday? That's where the trouble is. The fishmonger is at sea as well as his good fishermen. If the advertisement had been headed "Lent and Easter," then it would have been evident that two different subjects were being dealt with, and "both caught with one fish," as Mrs. R. might say, adapting a proverb.
TEMPERATE TO INTEMPERATE.
Fanatic sophistries, I think,
To logic's limits will have shrunk,
When zealot's recognize that "drink"
Is not identical with "drunk."
Difference may be as great you see,
'Twixt U and I as You and Me!
