WHO IS IT?
A laughable illustration of how anger causes a man to make himself ridiculous is given in the following incident, related in a German newspaper:
Banker Rosenthal directed his bookkeeper to address a sharp letter to Baron Y——, who had promised several times to pay what he owed, and had as often neglected to do so.
When the letter was written, it did not please Banker Rosenthal, who is very excitable, and he angrily penned the following:
“Dear Baron Y—— : Who was it that promised to pay up on the 1st of January? You, my dear baron, you are the man. Who was it that promised, then, to settle on the 1st of March? You, my dear baron. Who was it that didn’t settle on the 1st of March? You, my dear baron. Who is it, then, who has broken his word twice, and is an unmitigated scoundrel? Your obedient servant,
Moses Rosenthal.”
