| Abstract: | Let me assume that at birthday, anniversary or holiday season you want to bestow a present on a collector. Do not, I pray, send him stamps. Allow me to explain. The Prince Regent once asked Beau Brummell's opinion of a horse someone had given him. Brummell, instead of judging the beast in the usual way, went behind and spent time examining its tail. When Wales inquired at what he was playing, the dandy said: "Sir, you should never look a gift horse in the mouth." If you want fulsome thanks for a philatelic donation rather than a smile like a fox eating yellow jackets, go slow. [excerpt] |
