		Monckton had no idea that his unknown antagonist Nurse Easton had married the pair, but the very attachment, as the chatter-box of the Dun Cow described it, was a bitter pill to him.
		Monckton eyed her from his lurking-place, and made a shrewd guess who she was, but resolved to know.
		Monckton flung his arm and body wildly over the paling and grabbed her with his finger ends, she gave a spang with her heels against the wall, and took a bold leap away from him into a tulip-bed ten feet distant at least.

		The Liberal candidates were Alfred Emmott and Walter Runciman, who later sat in the Cabinet alongside Churchill.
		The by-election was dominated by a number of issues, including a Clerical Tithes Bill in Parliament, the brunt of criticism for which fell upon Churchill as a candidate for the governing party and the only Anglican of the four (though he was non-practicing).
