Braham And Kenney
Jests Home
THE pride of some people differs from that of others. Mr. Bunn was
passing through Jermyn Street, late one evening, and seeing Kenney at
the corner of St. James's Church, swinging about in a nervous sort of

replied, I have been to the St. James's Theatre, and, do you know, I
really thought Braham was a much prouder man than I find him to be. On
asking why, he answered, I was in the green-room, and hearing Braham
say, as he entered, 'I am really proud of my pit to-night,' I went and
counted it, and there were but seventeen people in it.
