Mrs Bishop

The Bishop of St. Asaph and his wife were on holiday in Spain and were just signing in to their hotel in Seville.

Now, although bishops of the Church in Wales have a title their wives are plain 'Mrs.'. So the good prelate wrote in the register

"The Bishop of St. Asaph and Mrs. Williams."

The hotel manager looked at the register in amazement and taking the Bishop to one side said

"In Spain, Bishop, we are not as is commonly said, narrow-minded, and it is no concern of mine what your relationship is with this woman, but do you not think you could conduct this affair a little more discreetly?"
