Bizarre Victorian fact of the day…

vicfangirlguide:

Sabine Baring-Gould was a 19th century English scholar and Anglican priest famous for writing the lyrics to the hymn “Onward, Christian Soldiers”. Together he and his wife had 15 children though Gould appeared to have not had a very good relationship with them. Once at a children’s party he asked a child “and whose little girl are you?” The child immediately burst into tears and replied “I’m yours Daddy.”
