A Cool Proposition
Jests Home
AT the breaking up of a fashionable party at the west end of town, one
of the company said he was about to drop in at Lady Blessington's;
whereupon a young gentleman, a perfect stranger to the speaker, very
modestly said, O then, you can take me with you; I want very much to
know her, and you can introduce me. While the other was standing aghast
at the impudence of the proposal, and muttering something about being
but a slight acquaintance himself, etc., Sydney Smith observed, Pray
oblige our young friend; you can do it easily enough by introducing him
in a capacity very desirable at this close season of the year,--say you
are bringing with you the cool of the evening.
