A Handsome Contribution
A GENTLEMAN waited upon Jerrold one morning to enlist his sympathies in
behalf of a mutual friend, who was constantly in want of a round sum of
money.
Well, said Jerrold, who had contributed on former occasions, how much
does ---- want this time?
Why, just a four and two noughts will, I think, put him straight, the
bearer of the hat replied.
Jerrold.--Well, put me down for one of the noughts this time.
