Archbishop Tait
Tait had a terrible fear that he would be struck one day with paralysis. On one occasion he was dining at the Duke of Westminster's house and suddenly he became ghastly white.
Laying down his knife and fork by the plate,he said to himself in a suppressed voice: "It has come to pass at last as I feared.I have been dreading,expecting a stroke."
"Console yourself, your Grace," said the Duchess of Sutherland, who sat beside him." It is not your leg but mine that you have been pinching."
泰特大主教
泰特非常害怕有一天他会中风瘫痪。有一次他正在威斯敏斯特公爵家中吃饭,突然他变得面无人色。
他把刀叉放在盘子旁边,压低声音自言自语:“就像我担心的那样,这事终于发生了。我一直在害怕,料想会中风的。”
“放心,阁下,”萨德兰公爵夫人说,她坐在他的旁边。
“您掐的是我的腿,不是您的。”
