Caliban's Looking-glass
A REMARKABLY ugly and disagreeable man sat opposite Jerrold at a
dinner-party. Before the cloth was removed, Jerrold accidentally broke a
glass. Whereupon the ugly gentleman, thinking to twit his opposite
neighbor with great effect, said slily, What, already, Jerrold! Now I
never break a glass.--I wonder at that, was Jerrold's instant reply,
you ought whenever you look in one.
