From Up in the Old Hotel, by Joseph Mitchel"There was a Spanish nun called St. Paula the Bearded, who grew a miraculous beard, according to the sacred history. She was being pursued one night by a man with evil intent when hair suddenly sprouted from her chin. She turned and confronted the man and he fled. No reliable statistics on the length of these beards has come down to us."
