“Your letter of excuses has arrived. I receive the letter but do not admit the excuses except in courtesy, as when a man treads on your toes and begs your pardon—the pardon is granted, but the joint aches, especially if there is a corn upon it.”

“O good old man, how well in thee appears
The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
