Lamb And Sharp Sauce


A RETIRED cheesemonger, who hated any allusions to the business that had

enriched him, said to Charles Lamb, in course of discussion on the

Poor-Laws, You must bear in mind, sir, that I have got rid of that sort

of stuff which you poets call the 'milk of human kindness.' Lamb looked

at him steadily, and replied, Yes, I am aware of that,--you turned it

all into cheese several years ago!
