How Leisure Came
How Leisure Came
A Man to Whom Time Was
Money, and who was bolting his breakfast in order to catch a train, had leaned
his newspaper against the sugar-bowl and was reading as he ate. In his
haste and abstraction he stuck a pickle-fork into his right eye, and on
removing the fork the eye came with it. In buying spectacles the needless
outlay for the right lens soon reduced him to poverty, and the Man to Whom Time
Was Money had to sustain life by fishing from the end of a wharf.
