沃恩主教
Bishop Vaughan
Bishop Vaughan was a man of great hospitality, and onone occasion when a conference of world delegates
was beingheld in London, he asked a number of native clergy to call onhim. Mrs. Vaughan sat in her
drawingroom at the appointedtime to receive the coloured gentlemen, but none called. Afterwards she
remarked to the butler that the expected visitors hadall failed her.The butler's face blanched.
"Perhaps it's them nigger chaps that I've been turningaway from the front door all the evening wot I
took for beggars," he said.
沃恩主教
沃恩主教是一个非常殷勤好客的人。有一次,一个世界代表大会正在伦敦召开,他邀请了一些土著教士到他家作客。沃思夫人在约定的时间坐在她的客厅里迎候那些黑人,但是他们一个也没来。后来她对管家说她等的客人没有一个践约。管家的脸变得苍白。
他说:“大概就是那些黑鬼吧,整个晚上我都在把他们从前门轰走,我以为他们是要饭的。”
