In Morley’s “Gladstone” there is a passage from the pen of the
great premier, telling how, years after his Eton career, he sat
down to a dinner in honor of the severe old head-master who had
flogged every boy in the school, most of them many times. They
had all hated him, they said. But when he rose to speak at that
dinner, such a storm of applause never greeted a triumphant
parliamentarian; and tears of affection actually overflowed all
eyes.--BURRIS A. JENKINS, “Proceedings of the Religious
Education Association,” 1904.
