Lord Chief Justice Holt Reflects on a Wayward Youth
A dissipated young man once belonged to a rowdy club and met Holt at the Old Bailey. The judge recalled an old companion now before him and asked about the others. The culprit bowed, sighing that all his former friends are gone except the lord. A proverb about gentle speech follows, warning against constant epitaphs.
