Table talk

Sir: It is amusing to discover from Sir Denis Brogan that the Reverend Ian Paisley with all his Protestant zeal yet wears a Roman collar; but even he deserves his full title. He might reject 'Father," unlike many English clerics, but at least he may be referred to as 'Mr Paisley,' not, please not, the 'Reverend Paisley'—any more than we should refer to the author of your inimitable Table Talk as 'Sir Brogan.'
