Quid Pro Quo
Campbell relates:--"Turner, the painter, is a ready wit. Once at a
dinner where several artists, amateurs, and literary men were convened,
a poet, by way of being facetious, proposed as a toast the health of the
painters and glaziers of Great Britain. The toast was drunk; and
Turner, after returning thanks for it, proposed the health of the
British paper-stainers."
