Half a Priest endangers your salvation;
Half a Doctor imperils your life.
“_Miserly._”—-The word for miser is in the original “Shūm,” an Arabic
word. Misers are held in great detestation by the people, and they have
many sayings about them. One is the soliloquy of a stingy man to a
copper coin which he had held tightly in his hand on a hot day until a
drop of perspiration fell from it.
