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
沃恩主教是一個非常殷勤好客的人。有一次,一個世界代表大會正在倫敦召開,他邀請了一些土著教士到他家作客。沃思夫人在約定的時間坐在她的客廳里迎候那些黑人,但是他們一個也沒來。后來她對管家說她等的客人沒有一個踐約。管家的臉變得蒼白。
他說:“大概就是那些黑鬼吧,整個晚上我都在把他們從前門轟走,我以為他們是要飯的。”
