A TIPSY man
one day got into a tramway car in Glasgow, and became very troublesome to
the other passengers, who were so much annoyed that it was proposed to
eject him. A kind hearted divine, who was also a passenger, however,
interposed for him, and soothed him into good behaviour for the rest of
the journey. Before leaving, however, he looked around with a scowl of
contempt upon, and muttered some angry words with regard to the other
passengers; but shook hands warmly with the reverend doctor, to whom he
paid a rather left-handed compliment in his parting words:
"Good-day, my friend; I see you ken
what it is to be drunk !" |
