One of Baron Rothschild’s peculiarities was to conceal his
benevolence. He gave away a great deal of money, but if the one
who received it ever mentioned the fact so that it came back to
the baron’s ears, he never got any more. His contributions to
general benevolence were always anonymous or passed through the
hands of others. His name never appeared upon any benevolent
list.
