"Madam," he said in a broken voice, "I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and their children are starving. They're about to be evicted unless someone pays their $800 rent."
"How terrible!" said the preacher's wife. "May I ask who you are?"
The visitor dabbed his eyes with his handkerchief and sobbed, "I'm the landlord!"
