Speech in House of Commons [24 February 1809]. ;void(0)) CROOKS . . see: "CRIME & PUNISHMENT" (above) Those of you who contributed so generously last year to the floating hospital have probably wondered what became of the money. I was speaking on this subject only last week at our up-town branch, and, after the meeting, a dear little old lady, dressed all in lavendar, came up on the platform, and, laying her hand on my arm, said: 'Mr. So-and-so (calling me by name), what the hell did you do with all the money we gave you last year?' Well, I just laughed and pushed her off the platform... --Robert Benchley (1889—1945) American humorist and newspaper columnist.

In April 1862 his conduct as secretary of war was censured by the House of Representatives. ----- Machiavellian (adj.) [mak-ee-ê-'vel-ee-ên] 1.
