An English school teacher was looking for rooms in Switzerland. She called upon the local school master to help her find an apartment that would be suitable. Such rooms were found, and she returned to London for her belongings. She remembered that she had not noticed a bathroom, or as she called it, "a water closet." She wrote to the school master and asked if there was a "W.C." in or near the apartment.
The schoolmaster, not knowing the English expression, was puzzled by the "W.C.", never dreaming that she was talking about a bathroom. He finally sought advice from the parish priest. They concluded she must mean a Wayside Chapel. The lady received the following letter a few days later.
"Dear Madam :
The W.C. is located 9 miles from the house, in the heart of a beautiful grove of trees. It will seat 150 people at one time, and is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays.
