According to an old story, Gladstone, interrupted repeatedly by a drunken man at a meeting, fixed him with his eye & said: "May I request the gentleman who has, not once but repeatedly, interrupted my observations with his interjections, to extend to me that large measure of courtesy which, were I in his place and he in mine, I should most unhesitatingly extend to him." The drunk was instantly sobered and shut up. |
