The Lighter Side / A formidable woman

Just thought I would share this story ...
My wifes G-Grandmother Gertrude Kite was at home when the head Bailiff and the local Constable came calling. They announced that some game had been stolen from his lordships personal collection and that they intended to trace the culprits. Good old gertrude declared as a "God fearing Christian woman" that no stolen property would ever cross her threshold.
Nevertheless the Baillif and the Constable declared their intention to search the house as it did belong to his lordship.
Some 30 seconds later both the Bailliff and the Constable were outside the house having met the business end of a broom and the Constable declaring very loudly that nothing on this earth would ever make him try to cross "that woman " again.
I think I would have liked to meet her
