Assurance And Insurance
STERNE, the author of the Sentimental Journey, who had the credit of
treating his wife very ill, was one day talking to Garrick in a fine
sentimental manner in praise of conjugal love and fidelity: The
husband, said he, with amazing assurance, who behaves unkindly to his
wife, deserves to have his house burnt over his head.--If you think
so, replied Garrick, I hope your house is insured.
