Beschrijving
Holy Ghost in the Church (previously The Parson to Let a Dove Fly in the Church). (Including the previous Type 1839*.) A clergyman who wants to perform a miracle for his congregation arranges for the sexton (his cook, servant girl) to let loose a dove (something burning) from a hole in the ceiling as if it were the Holy Ghost (fire from heaven). When the clergyman gives the signal, the sexton, who lost the dove, answers, “The Holy Ghost was eaten by the cat” (broke his neck, or the material for the fire is gone). (X418].)
The female cook falls through the roof with her naked buttocks exposed. The clergyman warns that anyone who looks up will go blind, but one person risks an eye and looks up to see what happened. (Previously Type 1839*.)
