The Penitent Elector
|
A PERSON belonging to the Society for Passing Resolutions of
Respect for the Memory of Deceased Members having died received the
customary attention.
'Good Heavens!' exclaimed a Sovereign Elector, on hearing the
resolutions read, 'what a loss to the nation! And to think that I
once voted against that angel for Inspector of Gate-latches in
Public Squares!'
In remorse the Sovereign Elector deprived himself of political
influence by learning to read.
