The Highwayman and the Traveller

The Highwayman and the Traveller


A Highwayman confronted a Traveller, and covering him with a firearm, shouted: “Your money or your life!” “My good friend,” said the Traveller, “according to the terms of your demand my money will save my life, my life my money; you imply you will take one or the other, but not both.  If that is what you mean, please be good enough to take my life.” “That is not what I mean,” said the Highwayman; “you cannot save your money by giving up your life.” “Then take it, anyhow,” the Traveller said.  “If it will not save my money, it is good for nothing.” The Highwayman was so pleased with the Traveller’s philosophy and wit that he took him into partnership, and this splendid combination of talent started a newspaper.

Real Personal Service

Real Personal Service On our last visit to London my wife and I stayed at the Magna Hotel. The Magna used to be a favorite hotel of ours but we had not stayed there for over sixteen years. The hotel is famous for its service and we were not disappointed. "The porter will show you to your room," the receptionist said with a smile and we were shown to a room on the first floor. "This is our favorite room," I exclaimed. "I know sir," the porter said. "Yours is the room with a view, isn't it?" "That's right," I said. "You like milk in your tea in the morning and madam prefers lemon in hers." "That's right," my wife said. She pulled me by the sleeve with pleasure when the porter had gone.
