Hook to cope successfully with the "a
pacity of the gentlemen of the hall, in
contradistinction to the road. and on
one occasion, at all events, he proved
himself equal to the task.
II is related that once when dining
out he, before the entertainment came
off, provided himself with several bright
farthings from the mint and that when
proceeding after the festivities TO his

went on his way rejoicing, nor did he
cease doing so when, as he stepped into
his carriage. one Of the footmen, who
had discovered the real value Of the
pourboire, ran out, saying, "Sir, l
