SIR BOYLE ROACH, the droll of the Irish bar, sent an amusingly equivocal
invitation to an Irish nobleman of his acquaintance: I hope, my Lord,
if ever you come within a mile of my house, that you'll stay there all
night. When he was suffering from an attack of gout, he thus rebuked
his shoemaker: O, you're a precious blockhead to do directly the
reverse of what I desired you. I told you to make one of the shoes
larger than the other, and instead of that you have made one of them
smaller than the other!
