This unkindness the boy never could forget, and years after, though surrounded by the great of England, it would often recur to him.
Many years passed by, and one day an aged man made his way through the market crowd at Uttoxeter. He stopped at the place which fifty years before had been occupied by the book-seller, and the old gentleman was heard to say:
“Yes; this is the very spot—the very spot!”
It was the great and illustrious man of England, in whose heart still lingered the remembrance of his cruelty to his poor father.
