Quote by Sydney Smith
How can a bishop marry? How can he flirt? The most he can say is I will see you in the vestry after service.
Summary
This quote humorously points out the irony of a bishop engaging in romantic or flirtatious behavior, given the expectations and responsibilities that come with their role in the church. With restrictions on marriage and strict decorum attached to their position, the quote highlights the amusing limitation a bishop faces when it comes to expressing romantic interest. The line, "I will see you in the vestry after service," further emphasizes the constraint as the only possibility for any personal interaction, albeit within the confines of the church setting.
