– Where are you from, young lady?

– Manchester.

– And you, Miss?

– York.

– And that young lady over there?

– London, replied the third maiden.

– “Well, that’s funny” said the Dr. “I am as much from Manchester, as I am for York, as I am for London.”

– “How on earth can that be?” I cried.

– I am not from any of those places, replied the Dr.
