“Do you know, my partner is the most absent-minded man I’ve ever met. The other morning he thought, he’d left his watch at home, and then took it. out to see if he had time to go back and fetch it.” “Oh, that’s nothing,” said the friend, "to a partner I once had. He left his office and put a card on the door to say he would be back at three. Find- ' ing that he’d forgotten something, he went back to the office, read the notice, and sat down on the stairs to wait till 3 o’clock.”
