Ingratitude
WHEN Brennan, the noted highwayman, was taken in the south of Ireland, a
banker, whose notes at that time were not held in the highest
estimation, assured the prisoner that he was very glad to see him there
at last. Brennan, looking up, replied, Ah! sir! I did not expect that
from you: for you know that, when all the country refused your notes,
I took them.
