A Reverent

Has anyone ever seen a bishop kissed by a pretty girl?

Guests at a fiesta did, after the Games Pontifical High Mass in Agana Cathedral on the first Sunday after the opening.

Bishop Felixberto Flores was in the queue for gifts handed out by Miss Tahiti (20-year-old Moea Amiot). Each recipient was kissed in that delightful French custom by Miss Tahiti.

Came the bishop’s turn. Would she, or wouldn’t she? She did.

From the expression on the ecclesiastical countenance, his Lordship was either thunder struck, or delighted.
