Synopsis
Excerpt from Collecting as a Pastime
The rostrum shook under the thud of the fist of the reformed prizefighter, and the hall reverberated with his stentorian exclamation. Ah-h-h-h, my friends what will the drunkard do for drink? Allow me ]ll. To whisper, What won't the collector do for curios P 'it is generally understood that there IS honesty among thieves. This may be so - not being a member of that fraternity I cannot vouch for its accuracy. That this desirable attribute prevails amongst the majority of antique dealers and collectors is to my mind open to question. You know' you cannot do yourself justice unless you know more than the other fellow, while he in his turn, if you are a stranger, treats you with suspicion, and so you both play Brer Rabbit.
