A little group of councillors were discussing Denry.
"What a card!" said one, laughing joyously. "He's a rare 'un, no
mistake."
"Of course, this'll make him more popular than ever," said another.
"We've never had a man to touch him for that."
"And yet," demanded Councillor Barlow, "what's he done? Has he ever done
a day's work in his life? What great cause is he identified with?"
"He's identified," said the speaker, "with the great cause of cheering
us all up."
