Charity And Inconvenience
Jests Home
IT is objected, and we admit often with truth, that the wealthy are
ready to bestow their money, but not to endure personal inconvenience.
The following anecdote is told in illustration: A late nobleman was
walking in St. James's Street, in a hard frost, when he met an agent,
who began to importune his Grace in behalf of some charity which had
enjoyed his support. Put me down for what you please, peevishly
exclaimed the Duke; but don't keep me in the cold.
