Sydney Smiths Son Stirs Dinner With Stable Mind Joke
A Sydney Smith anecdote describes his son at a bishop's dinner, mixing horse racing and hunting talk with religious guests. The son quips about Nebuchadnezzar, shocking the table, prompting Smith to remark his son has a stable mind. The tale, recounted by Youth's Companion, ends with the father sharing the joke.
