What Everybody Does
HOPKINS once lent Simpson, his next door neighbor, an umbrella, and
having an urgent call to make on a wet day, knocked at Simpson's door.
I want my umbrella.--Can't have it, said Simpson. Why? I want to go
to the East End, and it rains in torrents; what am I to do for an
umbrella?--Do? answered Simpson, passing through the door, do as I
did, borrow one!
