So in reply to the offensive arrogance of the banker, I said I should be honoured by his subscription to the Birds of America." 'Sir, ' he said, 'I never sign my name to any subscription list, but you may send in your work and I will pay for a copy of it. Gentlemen, I am busy. I wish you good morning.' We were busy men, too, and so bowing respectfully, we retired, pretty well satisfied with the small slice of his opulence which our labour was likely to obtain. |
