A Great Master.

Sir William Jenner, the distinguished English physician, used to tell with great gusto a tale of a footman of Sir Andrew Clark, that other great English physician, who has recently died. Sir Andrew was well known for his kindness to his servants, who used to stay in his service for years at a time, and who regarded their master as nothing short of the greatest man in the world. One day a gentleman in urgent need of Sir Andrew’s services learned from Jeames that it was Impossible to see the eminent physician except by appointment. “But it is most urgent,” cried the caller in dismay. “Quite impossible, sir.” “Well, can you not tell me, then, of some one else near at hand?” “Well, sir,” replied Jeames, reflectively, “there is a very respectable general practitioner named Jenner on the other side of the street. I think I may recommend him.”
