... (One For Ken Perhaps)
Sitting by the window of her convent, Sister Barbara opened a letter from home one evening.
Inside the letter was £100 her parents had sent. Sister Barbara smiled at the gesture.
As she read the letter by the window, she noticed a shabbily dressed stranger leaning against the lamp post below.
Quickly, she wrote, "Don't despair. - Sister Barbara," on a piece of paper, wrapped the £100 in it, got the man's attention and tossed it out the window to him.
The stranger picked it up, and with a puzzled expression and a tip of his hat, went off down the street.
The next day, Sister Barbara was told that a man was at her door, insisting on seeing her. She went down, and found the stranger waiting.
Without a word, he handed her a huge wad of money
"What's this?" she asked ..........
"That's the £8,000 you have coming Sister," he replied. "Don't Despair came in at 80-to-1."
