him to reduce expenditures and sell
his horses, on which occasion she said
to him:
Townsend, don't you think that 1t
would be better to drive one horse
four years. instead of four horses one
year,"
Another time, when on the verge OF
financial crash, Percy still owned a
considerable stable, and gave no out
ward sign of pecuniary embarrass-
ment His mother met an old friend
Of the family about this period, who
congratulated her on her sons sue
