That was later in his life, Freda. When he was younger, well, here's the story . . .

Woman on a train with her son. A drunk fellow looked at the child and said, "Lady, that is the ugliest kid I have ever seen. I didn't think they made kids that ugly." The mother burst into tears and called for the conductor. She told the conductor that she was very, very upset and wanted the drunk put off the train at the next stop. The conductor, wanting to get her settled down said, "Ma'am, just calm down. I'll go get you a nice cup of tea, and while I'm at it, I'll get a banana for your monkey!"
