How Leisure Came故事
            A MAN to Whom Time Was Money, and who was bolting his breakfast in
            order to catch a train, had leaned his newspaper against the sugar-
            bowl and was reading as he ate.  In his haste and abstraction he
            stuck a pickle-fork into his right eye, and on removing the fork
            the eye came with it.  In buying spectacles the needless outlay for
            the right lens soon reduced him to poverty, and the Man to Whom
            Time Was Money had to sustain life by fishing from the end of a
            wharf.
