ANGEL OR FIEND?
[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SFECTATOR.'l
Sru,—Mr. Lloyd George has drawn a delightful picture of the doctor going his rounds as an angel of mercy. My husband is a country doctor, and I naturally like to regard him as an angel. Unhappily, however, some of his money is invested in building land near a large manufacturing town. Until I took to reading the Chancellor of the Exchequer's speeches ray mind was at rest. But now I do not know whether to look on my husband as an angel and a benefactor of mankind or as a fraudulent blackmailer,—in fact, little better than a Duke. This is a terrible position for a wife to be in. If all building land was as well thought of by builders and land speculators as apparently it is by Mr. Lloyd George, I should not perhaps complain ; but this is not the case. I have not even wealth as a solace.—I am, Sir, &c., A PERPLEXED WIER.
