The whimsical and immortal author of Tristram Shandy, was
married to Mrs. Sterne on a Saturday morning: his
parishioners had timely information of this circumstance,
and knowing that he would preach the next morning at his
parish church, and desirous at the same time of seeing the
bride, they assembled in such crouds, that the church was
full before the bell had done tolling. The bride as
expected, made her appearance, . . . [15 lines, Sterne's
text for the sermon was "We have toiled all night and have
caught no fish." Congregation was amused.]
