Glasses
and Lasses

While
Robert Burns was at Moffat once with Clarke the composer, the
poet called fur a bumper of brandy.
“ Oh, not a bumper,” said the musician, ‘‘
I prefer two small glasses.”
“Two glasses ?“ cried Burns; “why, you are like
the lass in Kyle, who said she would rather be kissed twice bare-
headed than once with her bonnet on.“
