Few Friends


A NOBLEMAN, extremely rich but a miser, stopping to change horses at

Athlone, the carriage was surrounded by paupers, imploring alms, to whom

he turned a deaf ear, and drew up the glass. A ragged old woman, going

round to the other side of the carriage, bawled out, in the old peer's

hearing, Please you, my lord, just chuck one tin-penny out of your

coach, and I'll answer it will trait all your friends in Athlone.
