SLIP OF THE NOSE

John Pierpont Morgan, the great American financier of the early part of
this century, was noted, among other things, for a bulbous red nose of
surpassing ugliness. He was to be entertained at the home of the
American lawyer Dwight Morrow, and Mrs. Morrow was nervous over the
possible behavior of her daughter Anne (who was then very young, but who
was to grow up to marry the aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh.)

"Remember, Anne," Mrs. Morrow kept saying, "you must not say one word
about Mr. Morgan's nose. You must not even look at it very much."

Anne promised, but when Mr. Morgan arrived, her mother watched and
waited tensely. Anne was as good gold but Mrs. Morrow dared not relax.
Turning to the financier with a gracious smile, she prepared to pour tea
and said, "Will you have one or two lumps in your nose, Mr. Morgan?"
