Charles Lamb Laughing

A wonderful anecdote about Charles Lamb busting up laughing at his friend William Hazlitt’s wedding. So charming!!

“I am going to stand godfather; I don’€™t like the business; I cannot muster up decorum for these occasions; I shall certainly disgrace the font. I was at Hazlitt’€™s marriage, and had like to have been turned out several times during the ceremony. Anything awful makes me laugh. I misbehaved once at a funeral.”€

Having read both Lamb and Hazlitt, there is something so amusing to me imagining all of that.
