Anybody can order, but to serve with grace, tact and effectiveness is a fine art.
Sam
In San Francisco lived a lawyer—age, sixty—rich in money, rich in intellect, a business man with many interests.
Now, this lawyer was a bachelor, and lived in apartments with his Chinese servant “Sam.”
Sam and his master had been together for fifteen years.
The servant knew the wants of his employer as though he were his other self. No orders were necessary.
If there was to be a company—one guest or a hundred—Sam was told the number, that was all, and everything was provided.
