AbstractHistoryArchive Description

English social tale of religion and racing. A saintly and honest bishop agrees to bless a mother and her about-to-be-born child when a much agitated man requests it. He does so without seeing them and is rewarded four years later when the offspring wins its first race - with the prize. Humour.
