Player Or Lord


ONE day, at a party in Bath, Quin said something which caused a general

murmur of delighted merriment. A nobleman present, who was not

distinguished for the brilliancy of his ideas, exclaimed: What a pity

'tis, Quin, my boy, that a clever fellow like you should be a player!

Quin, fixing and flashing his eyes upon the speaker, replied: Why! what

would your lordship have me be?--a lord?
