In the Five Towns the following history is related by those who know it as something side-splittingly funny-as one of the best jokes that ever occurred in a district devoted to jokes.

However, you shall judge, and laugh or cry as you please. It began in the little house of Mrs Carpole, up ...

A story full of hilarity, and su...
