Old Mrs. Arnfield living in the countryside in Essex, got a letter from Kate, her granddaughter. Kate had left the village and gone to Pillsbury to pursue a career. Not understanding anything written in the letter, Mrs. Arnfield ashed her husband, "Kate's got a job, she says she works for a..er...message parlor. What is a message parlor?"
Mr. Arnfield said, "Guess these city people leave messages there for family and friends. Did Kate say how much are they paying her?"
Mrs. Arnfield replied, "That part is most confusing. She writes she gets paid 25 Pounds for a hand-delivered message and 50 pounds if she blows it to them."
