Enlarge picture
The town of St George's, from the vantage point at Fort George. The capital of Grenada, St George's is situated on a small peninsula on the southwestern coast of the island. It has a deep, landlocked harbour, called Carenage, which like Grand Etang Lake in the centre of the island, occupies a volcanic caldera (a large crater formed after the collapse of the original peak).

Port and capital of Grenada, on the southwest coast; population (2001) 3,900. The port has a well-sheltered harbour, exporting nutmeg, bananas, and rum, and is also an administrative and commercial centre. Refined sugar and alcoholic drinks are leading products and there is an established tourist industry. It was founded in 1650 by the French, and was the capital of the Windward Islands 1885–1958 (at that time a British dependency).

While it roared through the steeple of St George's Church, and twirled all the cowls in the neighbourhood, it made a swoop to beat the Southwark smoke into the jail; and, plunging down the chimneys of the few early collegians who were yet lighting their fires, half suffocated them.
It sounds to you like saying the Archbishop of Canterbury's daughter will be married in St George's, Hanover Square, to a crossing-sweeper on ticket-of-leave.
