Philip Earl Of Stanhope
PHILIP, Earl of Stanhope, whose dress always corresponded with the
simplicity of his manners, was once prevented from going into the House
of Peers, by a doorkeeper who was unacquainted with his person. Lord
Stanhope was resolved to get into the House without explaining who he
was; and the doorkeeper, equally determined on his part, said to him,
Honest man, you have no business here. Honest man you can have no
business in this place.--I believe, rejoined his lordship, you are
right; honest men can have no business here.
