My Brother, the Gentleman
The story of Sir Walter Raleigh,who spread his
cloak on the ground to keep Queen Elizabeth
from the hardship of crossing a muddy puddle,
can qualify that nobleman for an award as a man
of tact and good breeding. My brother Kenny, a
bachelor with a keen interest in history, was
impressed by that anecdote and thought he might
demonstrate his excellent upbringing in a parallel
situation. Accordingly he decided to abandon his
subway seat in favor of a woman standing nearby.
Although unaccustomed to such generous
treatment, the young woman was pleased to
accept Kenny’s kind offer. However, her jealous
boyfriend swore an oath under his breath
because he thought my brother was flirting with
his girlfriend. I don’t have any data on the number
of young men who get into similar trouble as
a result of a gallant gesture, but it’s probably one
in a thousand. Poor Kenny! He pointed to the now
vacant seat.
