GENERAL SUTTON was very passionate, and calling one morning on Sir
Robert Walpole, who was quite the reverse, found his servant shaving
him. During the conversation, Sir Robert said, John, you cut me; and
continued the former subject of discourse. Presently he said again,
John, you cut me; but as mildly as before: and soon after he had
occasion to say it a third time; when Sutton, starting up in a rage,
said, swearing a great oath, and doubling his fist at the servant, If
Sir Robert can bear it, I cannot; and if you cut him once more, John,
I'll knock you down.
