Show Fair to His Opponent. One day in parliament a young member, mem-ber, one of John Redmond's political opponents, rose to make his maiden speech. Although obviously suffering an agony ag-ony of nervousness, he managed to say some bitter things about the Irish members. Whereupon one of the Nationalists started to punctuate his remarkks with jeers, thereby intensifying the youthful member's nervousness to an almost pitiable degree. Redmond turned on his follower in fury. "Give the lad a chance !" he snapped. The jeers ceased. |
