Jerome, A Poor Man

CHAPTER XIV
22/30

It's 'Take a seat here, sir--do; this is more comfortable,' when he's set on feather cushions all day.

There'll be a poor man standin' alongside that 'ain't had a chance to set down since he got out of bed before daylight, every bone in him achin'-- stiff.

There ain't no extra comfortable chairs pointed out to him.

Lord, no! If there happens to be the soft side of a rock or a plank handy, he's welcome to take it; if there ain't, why let him keep his standin'; he's used to it.

I tell ye, it's them that need to whom it should be given, and not them that's got it already.
