A Piece Of Plate
Jests Home
A YOUNG actor having played a part tolerably well, Elliston one evening
called him into the green-room, and addressed him to this effect:
Young man, you have not only pleased the public, but you have pleased
me; and, as a slight token of my regard and good wishes, I beg your
acceptance of a small piece of plate. It was, beyond all question, a
very small piece, for it was a silver toothpick!
