Not A Bad Offer

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle used to relate a bantering conversation he had many years ago with a young English actor who was then making ten dollars a week in the cast of one of his plays. The youngster laughingly suggested that he would like to enter into a contract with Sir Conan by which they would agree to divide their incomes equally for the rest of their lives. Naturally, Sir Arthur turned it down. He learned to regret the decision. The young actor was Charlie Chaplin.

She nibbled her pen a moment, then wrote: ttNot very."

-The New Yorker.
