A Causeway

Belinda

A RICH Woman having returned from abroad disembarked at the foot of

    Knee-deep Street, and was about to walk to her hotel through the

    mud.

    "Madam," said a Policeman, "I cannot permit you to do that; you

    would soil your shoes and stockings."

    "Oh, that is of no importance, really," replied the Rich Woman,

    with a cheerful smile.

    "But, madam, it is needless; from the wharf to the hotel, as you

    observe, extends an unbroken line of prostrate newspaper men who

    crave the honour of having you walk upon them."

    "In that case," she said, seating herself in a doorway and

    unlocking her satchel, "I shall have to put on my rubber boots."
