Mr Charles Yorke
Jests Home
WHEN Mr. Charles Yorke was returned a member for the University of
Cambridge, about the year 1770, he went round the Senate to thank those
who had voted for him. Among the number was a Mr. P., who was proverbial
for having the largest and most hideous face that ever was seen. Mr.
Yorke, in thanking him, said, Sir, I have great reason to be thankful
to my friends in general, but confess myself under a particular
obligation to you for the very remarkable countenance you have
shown me upon this occasion.
