to be such an ill-mannered lot after ALL Lord
Randolph Churchill recently told his neighbor
at "A dinner-party

greatly irritatod Sir VIM. Harcourt, he leaned
forward from the opposite benches, and said 20
me in loud whisper:
You're little ass
as What did you do?' inquired his neighbor
why, | just called out, twice as loud.
you're damned old fool and you should
have seen his face. He rose up two or three
times TO call the Speakers attention to my un-
parliamentary language, but remembering his
own remark, decided to sit down and swallow
his wrath"
