JEMMY GORDON, the Cambridge eccentric, when he happened to be without
shoes or stockings, one day came in contact with a person of very
indifferent character. The gentleman, pitying his condition, told him,
if he called at his house, he would give him a pair of shoes. Excuse
me, sir, replied Jemmy, assuming a contemptuous air, I would not stand
in your shoes for all the world!
