If he enters a public house e is a drunkard; if he steps j ut he is a miser. If he is a poor man he has o brains; if he is a rich man e has all the luck in the /orld. If he has brains he is conidered smart and dishonest. If he goes to church he is ' ypocritical; if he stays away ' ie is a sinful man. If he gives to charity it is o show off; if he does he is tingy and mean. When he comes into the corld everyone wants to kiss lim; before he goes out vervone wants to kick him.
